My living room is really empty, and i found a place were they can cut custom glass panels. I was hoping to create a 12 ft long tank, 21" up, 4" large. Like a big frame. No corals this time, i was planning to do a nemo filled tank. Most of the LR would be in a sump, due to space issues. Tonga branch in the main display, 3x48" fluo normal output or so. I think with a good powerful return pump and Seios i can have movement even tough it's harder when the tank is that thin. Anyways, i would like a feedback on this project, to see if i'm missing something big before i order the glass. Oh yeah the sump would be quite big compared to the tank's volume, 'cause it can be hidden.
Tnx

Definitely sounds interesting. You'll probably need to make sure there's plenty of oxygenation going on in the sump, as I think it will be hard in the display tank to get decent oxygen exchange.

And, of course, make sure there's a way to get to all corners of the tank for algae removal.
