Custom 110g Tank Progress....!

[lotsofgallons]

Last week i began building my future 110g reef tank that will take the place of my current 75g. I did all of the glass tank construction, built the stand, and drilled the tank for dual overflows. I will be using a 55g sump and a quiet one 6000 return pump, and tonight i did a test run to see if the dual overflows will hold up against the pump at full throttle. Here are some pics i took. Still have to plumb in the return line and the stand pipes inside the tank but just wanted to share my progress so far! The stand and tank will be fitted with a black acrylic formica.

thanks! the tank is 5ft long, 2ft wide, 18" deep...the whole thing stands 56" tall without the canopy.

Maybe I like to over engineer, but I'm concerned over the way the stand is built. With the supports laid sideways, it opens the wood up to more warping, flex and cracking than if they were laid vertically. Also the lack of support on the ends.

But it's just my two cents

Otherwise it looks like a really good start!
