Nice Ron, very nice. Hey can you post how you made this tank, is it all glass, the back looks like black acrylic? How thick is the glass & what are the dimensions, did you get it pre-cut or had a glass shop do all the cutting for you? What type of sealant did you use, it looks black also, which is cool.
ok ok enough questions, again it looks really nice, good work. I'll probably build a sump soon, might go glass.
The Tank:
All Glass 1/2", 3 sides Starfire, Back (Painted) and bottom regular glass.
Overflow, 1/8th" thick greylite glass. (smoked glass)
Black Silicone
36"x24"x26"
3" Eurobrace 3 sides (not needed, but I love the look)
4 holes drilled in the bottom. On the back, 1 dorso, 1 return. On the front 2 holes closed loop.
Back glass 3 holes drilled, 1 intake, 2 closed loop return. All holes drilled with diamond hole saw.
Bottom black Starboard (I'll get pics soon, finishing putting it in tonight)
I had all glass pre-cut, All edges are polished, the front corners are beveled on a 45 degree angle.
I've decided not to build a sump, to expensive, I'll buy a generic pre built tank. I'll buy the baffles and add them myself.
Hope this helps
Thank you everyone for the great compliments!
