What's the thickness on the glass?

 

[Osama]

Almost eleven feet

 

[Osama]

Sorry dimensions are 130X30X31
Thickness appears to be as per my measurement 3/4 inch with four braces on top surface

 

[SPotter]

tagging along! thats a lot of tank....not sure if I would trust a glass cages build on something that big. Looking forward to seeing this develop!

Steve: I am not familiar with glass cages. I am relying totally on my LFS that I knew from before I sold my previous 180 & 320 gallons (4 years ago)... Hope the tank is OK. the work on the plumbing and framing looks VG. Do not need a not so good main tank. Paying my LFS good bucks for it... Thanks for the cautionary note. Filling it up now with a new 90GPD SpectraPure and my old 150GPD RO/DI Combined effluent rdgs at 5 ppm.... Will check for leaks etc but longer term we shall see.

Sorry...dont want to cause any alarm. Just check the seams to make sure they look good. Is the tank brand new or did you buy it used?
