I haven't given up on the 75 just yet but thoughts have been running through my head about buying plate glass and building a 150gl tank. The stand will need a slight modification but won't take that long and it is build to hold a lot more that what a full 150 will weigh. Teto said he was going to check into glass for me at the shop where he got his cut. He got a great deal and I'm hoping that 1/2 inch will be somewhat affordable. We will just say that if the price for the plate glass is under $500 then there is a really good chance the 75 will never see water.
