I guess not but it will be nice in it's own way.

Here's a sneak peak at the glass going together





BTW, my camera is packed so you'll have to live with pictures from my phone

Nice. How much did the glass cost, If you don't mind me asking. Next tank, I think I'm building it too.

$1200
It's 12mm glass, 3 sides starphire, all edges polished, 4 holes in the base.

So over the weekend I got the tank built and the back painted. Got it on the stand in position and filled. I also managed to get all the livestock from the holding tank into the new tank.


These are the overflow covers, I opted for laser cut as appose to using a router, so much easier.




The tank on the stand in position


Yeap, the tank is still dirty, covered in fingerprints


The eggcrate will be used for supporting some of the rock.


All livestock is in, water is a little cloudy from the move but it was nice and clear this morning.



Tonight I'm hoping to install the light fixture and do some of the aquascaping. I still have to build a sump and finish the plumbing.
