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.

well really its not that big a deal i mean it took us under an hour to get the broken glass out and since i am having my sump made by the same guy were going to get two more made up.and he was nice enough to offer to come up once the sump is done and get the new panels in so im happy and i dont see it as a set back at all


as for the plumbing well thats gonna be a doozie , im gonna have quite the sump made up using just about all my space so its a big sump from the front view in the window there will the section with the low flow refuge and frag tank it will be split in to two it will take up roughly half my sump im also having it made so theres two main drains both ending in filtersock holders.there will be a large section also for my skimmer and enough room to accomodate either two decent pumps or one very large pump in case i change my mind about that.there is also a section just for media reactors etc. sump should be finished within a month im hoping anyways

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
