Update. So I got some glass for my euro bracing and coast to coast. I now know why people in prince don't build tanks. It was $150 for the glass. Overflow on bottom and euro on top.





So I started to clean the top of the tank with the plastic trim off and i found something interesting. Can anyone else see the problem???





Yaa.... not so impressed. Good thing its not the show tank. He said it was a hagen. I don't know. He didn't look like he had the ability to do this to the tank and he said it held water. Good thing its in a basement and I WILL be water testing first now with a little more discomfort. But what am I going to do now. Not much. I need to get this tank set up as were renoing the room my current tank is in and its holding up work. No kitchen and dirty reno'd house makes wife something something....... So pressed on with work. Got the diamond coated burrs and cleaned up the overflows. No sharp edges and corners now. (please dont mind the sharpie marks. not sure what happend there. too many before starting that job.)



And then glued up the overflow box.






I realized the glass braces are probably overkill but I dont do too many things underkill so in they went. They were only like $10 in the end. Plan is for eurobracing to be glued in tomorrow and seal up the overflow box. Then its just a matter of waiting on the bulkheads. No one seems to use full inside slip bulkheads, or even a slip on the tank side. Oh well. Im getting used to things going sideways on this project.
