They dont have any fish in it though and the snails actually crawl out of the display and are on the edges of the top and all around the bottom where it feeds back into the sump. There is a boundry around the bottom that is about 4 isnches wide and 5 inches tall at the base of the tank where the bottom boundry has a unnoticable slope just enough to get the water to flow to the two returns that are on opposite ends of each other.
Dont know if you can imagine this or not from what I have stated but that is the way i would go if I were to set one up.

That is the style I was refering to. That tank is 4'x3'x30"tall? That is pretty big for rimless. Just curious, how much does a tank like that run?

figured it was up there in price. most of them that i have seen for sale havent been very tall. Nice looking though.

their was the point i was making
My 29g biocube by oceanic can hold up to 30 gallons of water if you don't have ls or lr in it. Mine is at about 24/25 gal with the ls and lr. Most tanks are measured and sold by their gallon size before anything is added, even though they are much less after.

you sure about that? from what i've seen they hold about 23 gallons.... with nothing in it ( and thats counting the back chambers, which of course if you add filters to the gallon number of AGA tanks then it would be 30+ (34 for me)
