I was considering a horseshoe shaped tank when I set up a fish room but plans change. I wanted a 4' at the end with 2 x 6' tanks each coming up a side. I found a supplier for 5" D-Bit hole saws and 4" bulkheads to tie them together so you wouldn't have to build onsite. Just a thought.

Check out www.fingerlakesreef.com for lots of info on Huge tank builds, they use plywood backing and bracing/framing, put in glass on the sides and front, then coat the inside with ocean-proof Epoxy. pretty cool.

i was thinking about doing the plywood epoxy thing, would definitely save a Boatload of money...actually I think thats what i'm going to do. you can make the overflows, and all the holes in the plywood, no need to drill any glass.
