There will be legs under the free edge, but they only go on after everything has been painted and sealed. Its just too much of a pain to get under there to mud, and pain with the legs in the way.

It will look something like this....but with the magic of 3D!

| | | <---- The spacing changes but the legs will be evenly spread out under the leg tank.

So as of this weekend most of the glass is sitting in my basement! I took some photos, but then went partying all weekend long and didn't quite make it to uploading them yet. It looks pretty, I'm excited to see it go up in the next few days, or at least part of it will go up.

I'll probably be unemployed after December 15th so I'll have plenty of time to do stuff around the house, why can't unemployement also come with copious amounts of cash? Yay for being a contractor! Oh well, at least I got my tank out of this last one, so I can at least be uber happy about that one.

I don't recall what you chose for glass. What thicknesses and what types of glass? I remember the glass for my 400 sitting in the basement. I'd just pace around the basement staring at it dreaming. FUN!

Its 3/4" glass for all the pieces I have in the basement right now. I'll post some photos up tonight I think once I escape from the office of doom. Today is definitely a Monday, no questions asked.

I snapped a few shots with my phone this morning while I was getting ready for work. The builders are coming tonight to start the assembly process!

Wow that's a long piece of glass. Looks so awesome. Darn I wish I could pull off a 10' tank. You have noooo idea how jealous I am!
