40 breeder one step closer

[Freemans Reef]

i just finished removing a piece about an inch and a half thick or 2 inch from the side of the tank
will post a pic after bit
it was really easy took bout 30 minutes with a rotozip tile bit
and a spray bottle

hopfully this will be my new tank when i get back to spfld. towards the end of august

next i need to get some glass cut for the over flow box

also wondering where to get the light grid for the top
and am planning on using a piece to build an aragocrete back piece or use foam not sure yet

planning on about 20g in sump what do you all think would be a good skimmer on that size

can't wait to get back into the club

also wondering where to get the light grid for the top

I used "garden screen" from Lowes. It's plastic. Plus some aluminum screen door framing, some spine, and BLAMO! I tried egg crate material, but I lost a ton of light as a result.

These new frames work great. Just my $.02. Actually, more like $.10 due to living in Wisconsin.
