My explanation stands as per my latest PM.  
 
I made a clear point no custom tanks were allowed in the Original contest thread.  
 
"GENERAL GUIDELINES: 
-You can mod all you want as long as you start with a STOCK tank and deduct costs from your budget." 
 
Mod the STOCK tank..   Not, break it down into pieces, then get a shop to build you a new tank out of stronger glass.   
 
Of course you have to use the stock tank... what would be the point in making everyone go buy a AGA tank, just so they can toss it to the side and get a shop to build them a new one with different glass?   You keep mentioning "rebuild"... you're not getting the stock one "rebuilt", your getting a completely new tank built with new glass.  
 
I'm sorry if you don't think this is fair, but you are not the first person I have talked to about this subject.
