I just picked up this 150 metal frame 3/4 glass fish tank today i got it off c/list for 200$. Please ignore the cute kids in the picture lol they are excited for the new tank
. I have it on its side in the picture because i was removing the half assed precautionary caulk job the p/o did. It does not leak but im gonna give it a fresh coat for peace of mind.As you can tell in the picture it very unique in the fact that its very tall instead of long. Also it weight about 500 to 600 lbs. My Buddy was not happy when he seen what i drug him out to help me with lol. Anyway my first question is the center brace being as how there is none but my tank has a metal frame and 3/4 inch or thicker glass so I should be ok right?
Ok second question is I have a wet/dry and protein skimmer left over from a tank i had a while ago but im planing on a fish and live rock only tank so can I skip the protein skimmer and wet/dry and just use a big canister filter and uv? Thanks for your time and hope to hear what you folks have to say..
