Nice...I think it looks awesome. Something different.
I bet you daughter and wife are just loving the tank.
Definately at some point it will need to be somewhere, were you
could enjoy all 4 sides....all 360 degrees.

Manny, really nice setup. What is the blue stuff that you used to glue your PVC together? My tank's original plumbing was all done like that with that stuff, but I've got no idea if it's permenant or not. I do most of my stuff now when I change plumbing with standard PVC cleaner and cement, and any part that would ever need to be moved, I set up with a union joint.

I can't wait to see this tank once it's all set up to be stand-alone and viewable from all sides. Get a luminarc reflector to complete the all-around look

 

[thesaent14]
