Default Diy tank

so the past few weeks i have thought about getting a tank for the kitchen, searching canreef, local buy and sell sites, LFS;s etc. looking for the perfect sized tank, and got nilch.
so while cleaning out the closet, i found a boat load of glass, and was like, i can build a tank, easy, get a glass cutter, some silicon, and bam new tank.

LOL, this is the build
