Default Great rebuild
I did the same type of rebuild once. It works very well. A one peice eurp brace is Ok but expensive. I would love to come over and see your tank one day soon.

I am hoping to cut the euro myself so it will cut down the cost. My tanks are not much to look at just a bunch of LPS, Softies and zoas but you are more then welcome to come for a visit.

Not much in the way of progress on the tank yet have been pre-occupied but I do have it back together and cleaned for a pic. Have to try to cut a notch for the OF and I am sure it will not be pretty so I will have to hide it well.



I have all the pieces cut for the OF box finally just have to assemble & install.

Thank Mike I hope it turns out well, I cut the overflow notch out yesterday but it did not turn out great so I will have to hide it with some black acrylic. Still trying to decide if I go get a 1 piece euro brace cut or just do it with 4 stripes.

Well finally got around to building the steel frame stand for the tank. I went with 30" tall & put adjustable feet as well.



Cut a piece of G1S spruce for the top & added some 1/2" styro. Here's what it looks like with the tank on it.
