Great looking tank by the way. I've been looking at getting a tank through them.

yes but the stand I built saved me about 6k and I am confident it's solid

added a Niger trigger and a pair of blue throat triggers

clown tang

and 5 chromis. I think I have 40 fish now. I feed 8 cubes mixed frozen a day and nitrates about 2....will have to keep an eye on that. I may see a sulfur denigrate in my future.

I also moved my new 1/2 horsepower chiller outside the curtain. big difference in temp in the fish room and tank is smooth sailing at 78. I don't know why I didn't do that like 3 months ago. just lazy I guess

Did you upgrade glass thickness or use their standard size glass? Sorry about all the questions.

I'm sure feeding time is pretty intense lol

I upgraded to 3/4" all around. they recommended 5/8" on front back and bottom and 1/2" on the ends. ask as many questions as you want

Were you not comfortable with their thickness? Did upgrading up the price pretty good?

 

[cleanmyaquarium]

I also added starfire or ultra clear as they call it to the front. that plus the extra thickness added $1k. the drilled holes h2overflows and siphon stoppers cost extra as well. the final price was still cheap compared to some other builders and I really like the structural integrity of the aluminum frame. I am not a fan of euro bracing.

I wanted the extra thickness for piece of mind....not sure if it was necessary but I plan to have the tank for a long time and I sleep better knowing it is thicker than bare minimum

That's not bad at all. A lot cheaper then I would've guessed. Well it's a good looking tank. How was your communication with them? Sometimes I need to keep emailing them to get a response.
