Dual Aquarium Stand Plans

[brian313313]

I would like to build an over/under aquarium setup. Both would be display tanks but the top tank would be a refugium and the bottom with fish. I have a 55 for the top and I have a 90 but I'll probably buy new glass for this so either a 90 or 120 for the bottom.

I can figure out how to build this if I put the load-bearing posts for the top tank on the outside but this leaves me with uneven side panels. It would be much harder to skin and make it look right. I googled this and just get normal aquarium stand plans. Does anyone know of any plans/designs out there for something like this? Tank size doesn't really matter since I can adjust the dimensions.

Thanks.

Why not swap it up and put the 90/120 on the top and the 55 on the bottom? That would give you more room to work with for the smaller tank.

I'd like to do something similar with a qt/hospital setup. Following...

Yep I know how to do it. All it will take is $$$$

My idea is to breed some live food in the fuge and let them drain into the main tank. I'll need the fuge to be on top so things don't go through the pump on the way in.

What kind of food are you going to breed that you'll be worried about loss through the pump?

From everything I've read it's minimal at best.

Not sure yet. Ghost Shrimp maybe? My understanding is that the pump will crush and kill them.
