Oldude's new 400 gal tank build

Thanks. The corner cleats are extra strips of glass added to further bond the tank together for additional strength.
Thanks much I hope it all goes as planned.
Thanks I have an external herbie on my frag tank and love it so I wanted to run the same type of thing with this, just bigger. No BB for me, I will be running a shallow sandbed. Thanks again.

That looks so pretty. I guess it might actually hold water after all. Considering it is all DIY by Gary. :lol: Seriously, if it doesn't come from a factory, it ain't gonna hold - that's all I'm sayin' 
Ignore my paranoia. After a few drinks, I get too honest.
It really is sparkly, shiny and new. Congrats on getting the tank you wanted. The corner cleats are even in the upright corners, correct?

Says Mr. "I'm never going to upgrade my tank again" :lol:
Looking great Greg!! I really can't wait to see it filled with your beautiful corals!!
This was an issue of consideration for me as well. I now think external overflows are the only way to go. My present display was my first crack at SW. Even though everything I did wrong with that tank went towards my marine tank education I sometimes wish I knew then what I know now so I could have done it right the first time.<a href=showthread.php?s=&postid=13921619#post13921619 target=_blank>Originally posted</a> by melev
the internal overflows eating up real estate.

Hey Greg...I think this new tank of yours is almost as big as my apartment was in South Korea. Awesome!
If you need help with the transfer down the road, let me know.

Thanks you guys. Drew I very well may need to use your muscle power in the near future. I still need to move the other tanks so the equipment room can get built.
Atomikk nice to hear from you. Yes that desalwi is doing well but that tricolor (bonsai) I got from you never made it. It fell into another coral and lost the fight. (well actually I managed to save a tiny nub that I hope will eventually grow into something). I have been meaning to contact you to get another one
The tricolours pictured unfortunately are not of that piece. Hopefully the frags you got from me in our trade have done well for you as well.

For me, I didn't have luck with mine as some of them died in the move. Plus, I had major temp issues with my thermometer. So i had some losses. I did lose my desalwii, so I will be hitting you up for a trade soon. Did you see my blog? I am posting about my build too. I have almost the same tank.. 72Lx28Hx36D.
