Bigger tank bigger headaches

Are you sure its a 165? I was under the impression that bowfronts only came as either 155 or 175?

Bow fronts are no longer made bigger than 72 gallon unless special order however you could until about a year ago get bow fronts up 260 gallons.

Next time you have to move it, get someone to help. It's a 2 person job

I'll take that into consideration when it comes time to put the tank on the stand thanks for the insight sir 😅

I love those bowfront tanks! I don't know if it's just the pic, but it looks like the silicone is chewed up in the front vertical corner. If that's the case, you may want to remove the chewed up edges and re-do them.

Nice looking set up, and ya you got a "SL" of work ahead and you'll need a fat wallet too.

So I never paid much mind till tonight but sometime in the past somebody cut the 2 crossbraces on top of the tank I have a question do I need to worry about the missing cross bracing or was it more for holding lighting and such up?

If I need to worry about it what would you suggest to shore up the bracing?
