If anyone wants a glass tank.

Well, I got my tank. It was a 240 gallon. 72" long x 30" wide x 25" tall, with the low iron glass and 1-1/2" bulkheads.
They ended up being a day early which really raised hell with plans. However, everything went well, I was able to get my tank and JoshF's tanks for him.

The tanks themselves were exactly as advertised. Economy tanks. The next bid I got on a tank this sized was $1300 more. So, in order to make this work on my budget, I had to go economy. With the rest of the stuff I need for the tank, I think I'm a little above another $1500.
In my case, there was a excess of silicone, but only in places you would normally coverup with a canopy and stand trim. ( I hadn't planned on stand trim, but I'm going to have to figure something out)
Their idea of tank trim is a little,,,,, well the trim needs trim.
The true test will be when I put water in it, hopefully this weekend sometime.

Let us all know once you have the water in!

Well it's holding water.
I think I've even done the close to the final fresh water test.
The one really good thing is I am not in a rush to get things done.
In fact I've changed things two or three times already.
Changed pumps a couple times, changed the overflow boxes three times, moved the postion of my returns a couple times.
