Sorry my English is not very good, I am from Caracas Venezuela.
Congratulations platapus, beautiful project, could you please tell me which the thickness of the glass is?. Is temperate or normal glass? I am designing a new tank for my new house, Your ideas are wonderful, I want to verify the thickness that I should use in the glass, my tank it should be of 72"X24"X28." Thank you .
 
04/13/04 - Live Rock: Everything is running great so far, Ive been dialing everything in. I installed half of the cabinet doors and the canopy. I placed the sand in the refuge, and also added the 250 lbs of live rock from my 100 gallon. Im still going to need about 100 lbs. more of fiji live rock.

Thanks Everyone for you kind words! Im about 98% complete....

GMezzacapo - The tank is 1/2" regular glass.

platapus
i love what you have done so far excellent patience and precision. i have a 240 that i am setting up but cant afford the space of a room like weatherson seemings how i am in an apartment at college, i would like to use some of your cabinet design from your scematic if that is ok with you, looks like a great space saver
