Thanks for the offer guys. It just so happens my glass is in town and I have to pack it in down stairs, so I might be calling in a few favours in the next couple of days.
That being said I have to go and finish the stand off, the welding is all done just have to prime and paint up all the welds and some of the surrounding area. Cut the shelves up so have to seal up those as well before the sump and frag tanks are made up.
Well what you saw so far is about 4 days work so I hope you don't expect this amount of pics daily.

Destruction is one of the things I do best Doug. The problem is getting everything back together again.

Man, such a clean wall removal. I'd have drywall dust clear into the next country and there is nary a speck of it anywhere...

Neat idea with the centre overflow, you don't see too many 4 sided viewing tanks too often ... which is too bad I think it's kinda neat. Good on ya' man.

Tony, I had to keep it clean for two reasons:
1-If I leave a huge mess, my wife would kill me. I'm serious.
2-Two very active little girls in the house. Self explanatory.
As for the centre overflow, I am really going to try to generate a good sized wave in this thing, and a centre overflow I believe is the only way I am going to accomplish it. I'm quite happy with everything so far, a long way to go though.

I too make a huge mess with demo but my wife has learned to just deal with it if she want something done fast

and all my kids are grown up, it's just the grand kids and the occasional guest who have little ones so that is not to much to deal with.

I look forward to more updates and pics too.
