[Mwebb]

i have about 6 hours, and $100 +/-. not to bad considering glass cages wanted $175 for the tank

Tank looks great, looks like a great fire station project. Build tanks while killing time. I really like the etched fish and coral on the sump!!! Adds a nice touch, did you think of that!!

[litenyaup]

nope it came that way...lol

we are going to drill the bottom and have a small stand pipe. this tank is goiing to be plumbed into the rest of the system.

also here is the fuge i made for him. it is a 55 gallon all glass tank with glass walls...not acrylic! the sock holder is acrylic. just finished it and hope to have it all done this weekend!

i found a glass guy and i get good prices so why not use it!

those baffles look awfully high in the sump. not alot of room in case of an overflow.

[litenyaup]

it was all measured and it was wanted to be as much water in the furge as poss.

Nice real Nice. I would just paint the overflow 90 fitting black. I really want to play with glass and acrylic some day down the road.
