Looks great Tony, good to see you got this done in good time. I see Steve is well hung - his sock holder that is - never mind
 So just how much is new glass is there now ?

 Who could have foreseen talk of a sump named Steve could lead to this direction?! I think I blame Doug. And Laurie. Anyone but myself at any rate. So, original pieces are the bottom and left and right panels. The short baffles are old but the tall ones are new. Instead of propping them up on something and waiting for the silicone to set, they are grooved out at the bottom so that there is still corner attachments at the bottom. So it's easily almost 50% new glass now. Plus the front is 10mm so hopefully there will be some enhanced structural integrity around the bulkheads compared to before. Before it had two sets of baffles, now it's just the one. The larger chamber will lend itself better to water changes, I think. I'm trying to scheme up a method where I can use the skimmer feed hole for draining and maybe marking up the sides with gallonage ticks.

I can't really claim any credit. "I watched it getting built ... all by myself!" Well Ok I guess I did clean the glass and stuff the night before. You can totally tell the order the glass panels got cleaned. The bottom is all sparkly and the right hand side is. Then the left hand side is a little less sparkly, and then the baffles are less and less clean. The last one is just a razor blade width of clean-ness around the edges and all coralined up in the middle still.
I would have tried to offer a hand but I couldn't quite arrange for the whole family to get out of the house while reefcanada came over. I had on Tuesday, Nathan my 5 year old has swimming lessons and Linda took him to that and took Sean along (2.5 year old). Unfortunately that was a card that could only be played once. Thursday night was swimming lessons night again but this time Sean had to stay home. I can't imagine why - how odd. @Randi - Sorry. That's great, now some guy who runs a tattoo shop ("shoppe"? "shop"?) in Jersey thinks I'm loopy. My master plan is well underway <twiddle> <twiddle>Pho sounds awesome!
