Finished putting on the euro brace tonight as well as the black acrylic overflow teeth ( 150 - 1/4" x 1 1/2" slots cut & filed by hand ). Whole inside of the tank except the euro brace has been totally siliconed, back glass as been tinted & bulkheads are in.

Pics will be up tomorrow.

Can't wait to see how your making out with the closed ..... setting up big tanks is too much work

Looking good Grizz, I have been workign so much overtime I almost missed this, and I do agree with YOU on the "no closed loops" I have never thought if you have enough return flow that you need a closed loop.

you going to have this beast done by summer?

No ****** **** question here. But do you have any pics of your euro brace installed? Is it inside or on top of the tank sides? And whether you have any cut-outs or how you did it around the overflows? Thanks.

Looking good Greg.

Talk about jack of all trades this is looking great!

I noticed your stand is all vertical supports without any of the diagonal bits I often see on large builds to prevent the stand's top from shifting sideways. Not required in your opinion?
