See, it works!

Since it says Calgary it is easier for the buyer to determine that this is likely not a good find. Now if it said Edmonton, however, it just might be worth having a look?!?

It seems reasonable for the amount of water it moves. It is out in the open at the moment but I think it will be okay in a cabinet and sitting on a gel mousepad.

Bow Valley may be able to help. Their new shop is on 84th St East of Calgary. They had tons of raw glass last time I was there. They could likely do it all or cut the glass for you.

A pic would definitely be helpful but for the price of having an overflow built it is well worth the advantages.

Looks nice!

I like your remote mixing tank idea too. I've been trying to find space near a drain and a couple pumps to make mixing and water changes easier.

I guess you can't really see the inside of the leg mount from my other pics. Here is an example of the flanged nut style used, about 5/8" of threads. I also spot welded the back side and drilled the...

The 3/4" feet were rated for 2100 lbs each but the flange on the nuts were far wider than the tubing.

The feet are simply for leveling, they don't change where the weight is distributed at all....

The feet are rated for 900 lbs each with the flanged nuts used. They are designed for industrial machines, not from Home Depot. With only 6 uprights on the stand adding more feet won't help anything...

In my nano I run Purigen, straight carbon, and Chemi-Pure. Second chamber is a mini fuge and third is a mini-skimmer and return.

I like the effect of all 3 medias together.
