It's only money, RIGHT?
Watch your hang on load for bowing the glass. Hang on skimmers and refuges put a load and vibration on the glass.
Dang I didnt even think of that. Thanks for the heads up.

Dont want to stop your build but a gallon of water is like 8.3 lbs??? And hanging from a rimless tank thats designed to have a rim and the pump vibration can cause problems....JMO. They build stuff as cheap as possible now a days and they rely on the rim to hold it together if the silicone dosn't. Acrylic rimless tanks are bonded together and still fail. So just be careful of how much stuff you hang on the glass. I'm sure someone will chime in and say I'm wrong so .....
thanks,but what I'm planning to do is sit it on maybe some blocks of wood so theres no weight pulling back on the glass, only if I could drill and have a sump, life would be so much easier.

Tank looks great.
How about a curtain rod and a short curtain to hide the lights and wiring??

Thank you, I was just thinking about addign the fisherman earlier. I need to find where I put him first lol
Alrigh,t got my cpr hob refugium up and running. Its sitting on a block of wood and not even touching the glass. So no worries on the glass bowing. Now need to install some leds to grow some macro alage.
