AWESOME!!!!! I love large tanks now. Nothing looks better that a huge tank (except for the bills). I'm looking for a 6 foot diameter circular tank that would be only 3 feet tall. I've gotten into sharks now and I would love one to constantly swim all the time. I have a Maldive sand shark at the time.

Great looking tank man. What kind of Pump and flow do you have going through that monster? Do you need any other pumps to circulate flow or is the return flow adequate?

I see you put a new rear glass (im guessing to remove the closed loops)
but the original pictures dont show any side or center bracing, which you have now.
was that just added safety, or what was your reasoning behind that?

i love this build!!

Speedo, thank you, and good luck with your tank that would be an amazing tank, never saw one that size. I just ordered my sweet water pump, it will handle 5800 gph for filtration, and 2 mp 60 for circulation.

Dahenley, thank you, yes the rear glass was replaced with the old front. And put starfire glass for the front. Since I replaced the front glass with only 1/2" tempered the builder sugested extra support, so he put in a 10" wide center, and 6" wide side supports.

Thank you, My door is always open to all. And also if that other tank falls thru I have a 175 bow if you are interested.

Thank you Palmer. Between pick up, and delivery twice, glass, tank, assembly $1600.

 

[rkaragozler]

wow amazing deal on an amazing tank. what did you use besides a razor blade to clean all of the old silicone off the glass so perfectly

Thank you Koralkrab. I used acetone to soften it, then boxes and boxes of razor blades.
