I've never built a tank of my own and I'm about to make one. I've recently upgraded my lights on an existing 1200mm long tank. For that, I had to remove the hood that came with the tank. So now I have a spare hood complete with 2x36W tubes, a powerhead and hood-mounted filter. I want to build a cheapish 1200mm tank where I will use this spare hood + extra filtration. Its not going to be a display tank so nothing fancy required. Its going to house a 5" long-fin comet that I already have in a FW tank (i know) plus another one of similar size that I haven't bought yet. The tank will go on top of a concrete bench will limit the width to less than 450mm.
Could you please have a look at the attached sketch and tell me if the details at the corners and at the bottom etc are right? I'm going to have the glass cut this weekend. I want to use black silicon for the edges and plan to have it heavilly planted with elodea and amazon swordsat the sides and plenty of swimming space in the middle, with sparse natural decorations.
