Project 77

Is that a Hagen 77 gal? If so did you drill the bottom and add the overflow yourself? Reason I ask is because I have a Hagen 77 purchased used, no brace in the top trim. Not drilled and it will likely become a sump/fuge for a future build. According to Hagen FAQ page on their tanks, none of the glass is tempered, so all drillable.

Nope..I had it made.I had a hagen tank,but for what it was going to cost to drill it and get the OF done, I figured I'd spend the extra cash and get a whole new tank made to my specs.

It's 49" L x 16 1/2" W x 22" H

I do believe the hagen tanks can be drilled though, but don't quote me on that.

i clicked this thread thinking you had an amazing Jack and 7-UP story... guess a nice reef tank build is a close second

Update....
Moved too fast at the start(again) Had an ick attack and lost 3 fish.
Moved the remaining fish to QT.Treated and saved them.
Tank has been sitting for a month with no fish in it,
Swapped out my sump for a 40 gal 3 chamber.Also added a reactor with
BP's, and a new light.
Have added a few frags.Said I wouldn't ,but couldn't help myself.

I'll try and get a couple pics up soon.
