Nice set up Reef Geek! What kind of lights are you using and how did you mount it onto the tank?

they just mount on the tank with what's included in the kits.

got 2 of these 90W tablets

1 I got used locally on kijiji, the other I got from a Calgary LFS for $500. Being in Vancouver, you could mail order from US for $350 to a UPS store in Seattle and drive over for pick up.

I'm under the impression that the plastic trim doesn't really add much structural support so it should be good to go, you might want to PM our resident engineer Steve (SPhelps).

I think it depends on the width to glass's thickness ratio. Batfishman's glass seems to be thick enough to withstand the pressure. Meddling with the trim/center braces of a manufactured tank might be putting a timer on the tank itself. Still like Levi said, shoot a PM to Steve. He would be the best person to comment on this.

Here's a link:
