my new tank
 

Here's a quick pic of my new tank I put together last night, all that's left to do tonight is add the two side corner braces. I'll be posting a full article with pics once I have it up and running next week.

~120 gallon corner tank (24" tall by 40" on each of the 3 longest sides)
1/2" glass all round with a starphire front pane
All edges are polished and beveled, front panes are mitred at 22.5 degrees where they meet so there's no gap.
2X 1 1/2" overflows
1X 1 1/2" return

SWEET as candy!!!

Very nice. I love Pentagons for a corner tank.

Christy :)

Great job,can't wait to see it all set up!

Nice job, make sure to post the pictures of the up & running :biggrin: Do you have a stand already made for it ?

WOW! Who made you the glass pieces? Was it pretty straightforward, assembling it? I would think that a person might need some sort of expertise for something of this calibre...

Oh wait, that's YOU.

:biggrin:

Evan, It look's like there is a complete glass top on the tank now?
whats up with that?

Very good looking work. Tony and I were just talking about you building a tank tonight durring our "New reactor building session"

cheers

I can't wait to have it set up either. Monday I'm moving everything from my other tank into this one. I had the Glass Guild do all the cutting, mitering, and polishing of the glass. Nope, No glass top, just some funnt reflections. I even impressed myself with this project. The seams on the front panes are sooooooo.... perfect! That's the stand you can see to the left, it's made from 3/4 MDF with a 2" X 1" plated steel beam across the front edge so I have a 40" opening for easy access.

With the front seams finished and the grate on the overflow.
