still curious why everyone calls it a rimless tank...

Is brace-less better?

Thanks everyone!!!

OnlyCrimson - The tank is made by glass cages.

NanoReefWanabe - The dimensions are 48"x24"x18"

mcliffy2 - I wish.

CamBarr - A good friend of mine built it for me.

matan_grin - Not sure. Any suggestions?

Efrain - No particle board. Some plywood though.

I'm very happy with the build quality. Looks awesome! I'll get some close-ups of the seams.

Those are some of the best looking corals and frags I've ever seen. What's that red one in the first pic.

I am going out on a limb here,...But I would guess to say the first one is a Montipora Setosa....

Very nice and clean setup. Will you be housing everything underneath, or does it go to a fish room somewhere?
