Mirage's 90 gallon

[MGDMIRAGE]

So i finally found something worth a dang off of craigslist and for a very good price! Here are some pics, i haven't cleaned it up yet but I'll be working on it quite a bit in the future.

Nice thick and wide glass center brace, a big plus!

The tank was in near perfect condition until i nicked it in the bed of the truck like a moron! A piece of dog hair in this pic also(she had dogs), it's not a scratch.

Silicone seems pretty much perfect as well

I will be transfering all the livestock from my 40 gallon over to this tank, and plan to re work the 40 a bit but may not set it up for quite awhile.

This looks like the same manufacturer of the tank we bought at the LFS. The wide glass support looks very familiar. We love ours. The joint work at the corners is beautiful. Ours doesn't even have the radius-ed silicone bead on the interior of the vertical seams. I questioned it when we bought it but they assured me there would never be any issue with it. They have never had a returned tank for leakage from this manufacturer.

What kind of overflow are you going to run? Are you going to drill? At least the small chip did something for you... You now know it is not tempered glass

Can't wait to see how this comes together.

Yeah i love the silicone seam its done very well and barely visible. I'll be drilling this soon and doing another kingneptune style overflow, you can see it on my 40 gallon hexagon build. I love the insanely small in tank footprint it takes and i think i can quiet it down with proper venting via durso. Yeah the bottom glass says tempered but at least I'm safe on the front/back/sides for drilling

I wish i knew for sure who the manufacturer was of the tank just for reference.

The LFS told me it was some guy whole builds them as a small business in California. They only order from him once or twice a year and he is not on the internet but he has been building tanks for most of his life. They wouldn't give me his name though. That glass brace is what really makes me think it is the same make. I have not seen it on any other tanks.
