Damn i want those dimensions so bad. Where did you get this and how much was it?

Thanks, sick tank!

 

[Jflip2002]

Yeah, thats such an awesome size. I swear my next tank upgrade will be no shorter than 7'x3'x20" would be perfect, and its less than 250g =\

 

[Jflip2002]

Hey Digital- I'm curios about your pipes in the overflow. Is it "Drain, Return, and Safety Drain" from left to right?

Yup.. that's correct..

Great thread!

Updated FTS. Didn't get the whole tank (63" x 44" x 14" ) on the picture, because my tripod is touching my desk. I will rebuild my room soon (dismantle a wall) Then I will be able to make some REAL FTS shots

More detailed pictures+build in my tank thread

I actually made the tank myself. I just bought pre-cut glass and had a couple holes drilled for the overflow. Glass tanks are pretty simple to build. I had no previous tank building experience. I think it was $300-$400 for the glass, but the holes where $70 of that cost. It can probably be built for less since I didn't shop around much for the glass and just went with a place that was close to my home.

I am setting up a 48x30x17.5(97g) right now. It is my first shallow tank, and I absolutely love the dimensions

The tank will be a gigantea species tank.......

Please create a build thread, we'll be setting up a 48x30x18 at the end of February and I'd love to see what you do with yours!!! We'll also have 2 MP40's.

Holy crap Leo, that thing is awesome. I envy that tank. It makes me want to empty my tank of most of the rock and mock you lol.

Hm i got a quote on those dimensions out of 3/4" and it was $700.00 just for the glass with no holes. I guess ill just stick to my mini shallow (48x18x12") and stop rushing into a big tank. haha

3/4 inch would be more expensive for sure. My tank is only 1/4 inch glass eurobraced.
