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 Evan.

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.

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.  Evan.
