Come on over tonight. still have to plumb in the 2 40b above the Zoa tank. I pick up the new 30b for bottom on Tuesday. I'm hoping to have all the plumbed before that tank gets here. Cause that tank I will need to drill, paint and build overflow box still.

Was curious to know what u used to smooth the sharp edge on ur zoa tank after u cut the glass? a wet stone? and was curious how hard it was to snap a clean line on a tank that long?

Just sand paper worked great. Was easy to snap clean line on the full length of the glass. One score line then lift up one side. Special pliers on the score line then snap.

Got a lot done. Left side tanks all plumbed in. Right side just have the new 30b to plumb in, but got the new tank drill, painted and overflow box installed.

2 days for the silicone to dry then get it plumbed in.


Left side all done


Once again big thanks to sonicboom for stopping by today on short notice to lend a hand again!!!
