but as i said it was just my thoughts and beliefs..my tank is identical to yours in the way its built. as well your basement is newer and most likely wont shift like the guys i got the tank from he lived in an older neighbourhood. and your floor is fairly solid no major cracks.so in your case either ay should work fine.

You are laughing then as the front pane is way easier to change then the bottom pane! Too bad you didn't see the guy in Regina selling the tank with a broken front pane for only $50. I went and looked at it but the very corner on bottom pane had a chip so I passed on it. Might of been a good deal for constructing something with the 2 ends and side pane depending on how old and brittle the glass was.

No you can't complain for that price. And for $200 total you would of had a 180g!!! Too bad I didn't buy it because it would still probably be sitting in my basement unused and I could of sold the pane to you cheap!
