ebay i have one and it works fine

the tank at the moment is a tropical fresh water tank the canister and fish are going to a friend so all im left with when i start this project is a tank and stand oh and lights altho im sure ill need to change them too.....

yeah but they don't look like they do the job as well as a long one? might just me and i might be wrong..

any thing else is going to be added within the next month or so... no rush but i want to get some good parts and in the end a nice setup... so for now a list of things to get/do before i spend .....

Aquarium Model: UFO 880 Dimensions:88 x 76 x 88cm (10mm glass) Aquarium Volume: 305L Filter Flow Rate: 2000l/hr Light Wattage: 2 x 36in 30W 1 x 23.5in 20W Power Requirements: 220 ~ 240V Suitable:Coldwater, Tropical, Marine thats all the info about the tank i got lol

at the moment just the tubes that are in the hood http://www.aquaone.co.uk/documents/UFO700_880_instructions_lowres_new.pdf don't really tell ya too much about the lighting even the pics are of the wrong tank..

Reef Octopus BH-300 Hang On Protein Skimmer Marine on eBay (end time 16-Sep-09 20:51:28 BST) this one any good? it said is a hbo skimmer i could put this on the back of the tank or do you thing on the back of the sump?

it does have doors but there silver and now they don't match the decor. skimmer wise i was thinking about this.... what do ya think? Tom 75 gal Wet Dry Filter w/ Protein Skimmer & Overflow on eBay (end time 13-Sep-09 17:37:00 BST)

The stand is 9" AT THE SMALLEST POINT.....12" AT THE WIDEST POINT AND 18" OR SO LONG so i could remove the middle but it would need to be brased... May be a new stand build is in order.... i do want a sump as i know how good they are

From what im thinking ill need to make a new stand to house a sump.....

Ok here are a few pics of the tank now lights and filter tray... I was thinking of taking off the filter tray to have a h/o/b overflow system... THE FILTER TRAY IS A SMALL TRIANGLE BIT WITH THE SPONGE IN AND IT COMES OFF THE TANK COMPLETE AND LEAVE A HOLE...

YES I WILL KEEP THE HOOD ON AND YES IT IS A BOW FRONT CORNER TANK ....I WAS THINKING OF BUILDING A NEW STAND! MAYBE!..... IF NOT THE SUMP WOULD BE UNDER THE TANK......NOT SURE ABOUT USING THE HOOD FILTER AS IVE NEVER USED IT ( EXTERNAL CANISTER FLUVAL 405) HUMMMMM MAYBE ILL POST A PIC OR TWO...

thanks for the reply i do have a small marine tank setup with sump at the moment but was just wondering how to convert this ufo tank i understand about the needs im thinking brands and setup...

ok i have the ufo 880 set up as a tropical tank and now want to turn it into a reef tank.. i need a list of things to get for this project and any help as how to do this ie: sump size, skimmer size, lighting, rocks and other stocking... i have a good idea about setting this up but want to...
