wow, nice tank, you gotta have pretty long arms to be placing stuff at the bottom of that shelf.

That is just great. Such a nice representation of two different reef areas. Any idea how the tank was constructed? Is that a seam of silicone between the two sections?

A couple people on RC have been throwing this idea around. I initially considered it quite heavily with a lot of input from Jnarowe. Eventually I turfed the idea because of accessibility. I definitely do admit though this tank looks amazing!

Looks like acrylic tank, seen seams like that before, was probably done that way to cut down on cost. Would like to know the dimensions of that, sure is different.

I love the idea but do you think it would be possible to avoid the seam in the glass? (just before the drop off) That would make me worry.
Get it eurobraced, and it should be fine..

Nothing a set of 70" tongs wouldn't fix..

Pretty sweet tank tho... makes me wish I could afford to build my 590G custom design...
