Cool. I built my acrylic 60g and i found that to be a really fun project. I might try my hand at a glass tank come this summer. Do you think you could post some details/tips about how you like to silicone your tanks together?

Sure, I'll make sure there are lots of photos of the actual tank assembly. Anything in particular you would like to see?

I wouldn't be confident in my own building skills to take on a project like that

Must be a lot easier getting the "tank" into the house when it is in parts rather than a big glass box eh?

Could you tell us the price difference between u-build and pre-assembled? $ or % is fine. Have fun.
