300g Starphire Room Divider

LOL that is too funny! But it does make sense. I have made to many visits back to HD when I have forgotten some fittings.


I hope my Starphire glass comes in this week.

How many times have most of us gone to the store three times in the same day?

More then I can count! The last time is always about 5 min before they close.

Little bit of a set back today. The glass could not be delivered today. So Monday night will be the big build day.

 

[LittleBlueGT]

[hdtvguy]

Do you have this tank setup now ? I am building a 420 g 3 side StarFire Tank 96"L x 36"w x 28" H . I can hardly wait for the glass to come in . How do you like that white glass?

 

[hdtvguy]

No it's not setup yet! I have not even seen the glass LOL. Today is the big day. Glass should be here in the late morning and the tank will be put together tonight.

Glass came in today. build will start tonight. Here are a few pics of some of the glass. The sheet on the stand is reg 5/8" float glass. The 2 panes laying leaning are the 96" X 30" Starphire panes. In the pictures you can really see the difference in color.

Few more

I'm using my old stand from my 240g tank. The whole stand will be skinned with green board then painted the same color as the walls. I did not want to install the drywall until the tank and all plumbing is completed. There will be no doors on the stand my sump and all pumps will be in the basement.


The canopy will also be built into the ceiling. I want to have access to both side of the tank. So doors will be on both sides above not sure what style of doors to go with yet?

sidewinder770,

Thanks I want this tank to be better then the last. Learn from a few mistakes I made with the last. My last tank the overflow took up to much room in the tank.
