Looking good so far Denny! Hope you got a decent discount on the new glass. When are you planning on getting water in there?

it wasnt anybodys fault so im not expecting anything whatever needs to happen im completely willing to take on and "reefcanada" was more than happy to help get it fixed so while im getting my sump built i will have 2 more panels also made to fit back in.

more good news!!!! i got all the tank cleaned up and glass is out with no damage to the rest of the tank plus i got every little shed of silicone off and tank is cleaned and ready for new glass


john it will be quite a while untill water hits it my plan is to move in april so untill then i am going to build a teamporary stand i can take apart and ill use the time i have untill then to get everything gathered up and anything built that needs building then i will run a freshwater course hopefully in december and see if everything runs the way i like and then once i am in my new house i will start building it up to where i want it untill then ill just keep stockpiling the ol zoa tank lol

Denny, I just read about your crack! Oops. The tank, I mean.
Sorry to see that. You have such wonderful out-look on life, are you a yoga practitioner?
And I see that the stand is looking wonderful. Cannot wait to see it!
I would love to see how you rig up your sump and the plumbing, so I can show Tim how it's done. We are trying to figure all that ourselves.
Chin-up. But of course you don't need that. Cheers.

Awsome that you got the glass out, did you have to break it or did you get it with a razor?

The sump sounds like an all in one sump anyone could ever ask for! Glad to hear that you will be getting help on replacing the panels. A guy like you deserves the best! By the sounds of it your tank guy seems like a good guy, I might get his number from you in case I need one made for myself in the future!

very good guy was very fast getting back to me with prices ,invited me down to see his tanks and took care of delivery plus he kept me informed and then the tank speaks for itsself its done perfectly as i looked it over every edge is perfectly in line with the other all the holes have been polished and beveled and he was more trhan willing to help me find the dimesions i wanted and make them work.....plus i should mention that he gives a fair price for great quality work

Good call on saving the glass cause I am sure there was at least two 3' sections of good stuff that can be reused and its saphire glass too?

No tank was too expensive as it is lol so just standard glass, the pieces that all came out are full sections with just a small triangle out of the corner

wicked news I got a file fish today finally getting my zoa tank cleaned up with any luck
