You're probably right. I wasnt sure where to put this thread. If it can be moved, that would be great!

i'll be joining the club soon...

after finding out reinforcing the mooi unit i wanted to use as a stand would not work...it's in the works and will have to be built to spec...once the ball gets rolling on that, the tank will be ordered.

the "stand" will look simmilar to this....

 

[Dudester]

Not much to look at yet, but I just filled'er up and added the LR. I'll update this thread later. Here's the specs:

60 x 30 x 26 AGE, ~200g
Starphire front and both sides

BTW hawaiianwargod, that's the first image I've seen of your tank. Nice!

Here was my ~135G that I had last year.

The last FTS before I took it down. I never really aquascaped it, knowing I would get a bigger one.

I went down to a 135 (from a 340) because of all the work of a large tank. Then I learned that in many ways - rimless tanks take less time for the everyday tasks. So I sold it and went to a 210G. Sorry no updated FTS, but soon!

Damn!!

Nice tanks guys.

It's been a year since I bought my first house, and I'm finally able to have a 'normal' sized reef. I definitely prefer the rimless tanks. Especially after the eye candy in this thread.

Does anyone have a close-up picture of the joints? Is there just a bead of silicone on the inside edge? Such as a fillet weld as opposed to a CJP groove weld? (for any engineers/welders)

Keep the pics coming guys!

 

[Fliger]

Ewan, I doubt Elos would mind me borrowing this from their sponsor forum

Phish's second pic in this thread has another shot. But its his photo so I'll just provide his thread and not the pic.

There are definitely tricks of the trade to keep these together w/o bracing - I would ONLY trust a company who has a good track record. Elos and AGE come to mind. I believe the silicone itself and the application are different than another tanks with add'l bracing. They've been around Europe and Asia for a very long time - so its not really new stuff.

 

[Ewan]

Thank you very much Fliger. That's exactly what I was looking for.

 

[Nuuze]

Here's my 79G Elos system 120 running since October of last year.
