Also - what thickness of glass was the tank built with?

Looking forward to more pics.
Thanks Brad, the glass is 1/2 starphire, this is my first time with starphire and it is well worth the xtra bling.

Thanks Levi

I wanted to try and have all pumps hidden as much as possible, so with the two vortechs, they will be placed in the top two holes, with the bottom ones sucking water, i have four smaller holes drilled in the over flow to take water from there as well.
