Thats a great tank but the drain is in the wrong spot. I think I will just end up building my own out of tempered I have a fear of float glass.
Still thinking about doing the drop tank as well as I really like the look of that.
I was thinking of putting glass sides in about 6" inboard and 4 foot long 12" high, and filling that with sand and then filling the center in with rocks. Not sure if that is going to give me a problem with stuff getting traped in there though.

If you're keen on the 'L' shaped tank then I say go for it! Those do look sweet. Definitely something different and not many of those around for sure.

I would link them together so it's easier to work on the 'system'. Also I would go 28" wide at a minimum if you can... It just creates much more 'depth' to your 'divider'..
