heres my 9.3 gallon cube, its made from 1/2" acrylic.
built by Eric Drew (Calvin415)

That is sweet! How did you anchor the tank/shelf?

I'm considering joining the club with a custom 72" x 20" x 20" (internal dimensions).
I'd like to know what glass thickness most of these tanks use though.
I am considering 0.6" glass (15mm) would this be sufficient?
Rimless tanks are not very thick on the ground here in Australia and I'd like all the info I can get before approaching a tank builder.

 

[Dudester]

Just a guess, but I would imagine the glass would need to be 3/4". You'll need to go over this with the manufacturer. Come on, join the club, you won't regret it!

Im in with my 90g built by vizio
36x24x24
drilled for closed loop with horizontal overflow, since these pics I have painted the back black and bought my om 4way/dart setup!
er rc135 for skimmer
now I need to finish my stand and get a sump!!!

try to ignore the smudges! my dog loves that the tank is on the ground so he can rub his nose all over it...lol

Fliger and/or anyone else -

Why do you say that rimless tanks take less time for everyday tasks

You're welcome.

Your tank looks great! dont change a thing.

 

[xxxbadfishxxx]

tagging along. I was looking into the Oceanic Tech Series 120, but the ELOS 120xl looks awesome as well. Where can we find prices on these tanks? As a couple of you have stated they are a package deal, but i see there are some options. If anyone with a 120xl doesnt mine, can you PM me with pricing.

Thanks,

Jeff

bogg - beautiful
reefkoi - best tank ever, no really

here are a few of mine:

37g 1/2" cast acrylic

and this is what happens when the manufacturer tells you to use 3/4" but you're cheap and use 1/2"

it forces you to eurobrace it and lose your beautiful rimless

and my .9 gallon 6x6x6 cube

The euro brace still looks great:bum:
