This is the only part of the project I didn't build myself. I designed the DT and it was built by Blueworld aquariums. They did a fantastic job with very clean seams and black glass overflow. Noway I could get seams that clean. Some seams in the sump I did are pretty ugly.

how long did this build take you? working on a build with the same tank dimensions.
 
Hello everyone,

I've lurked on ReefCentral for a long time now, only asking the occasional question. I thought I would introduce myself with my latest build.
I'm Joel, and this is the beginning of my reef addiction:crazy1:

I love the look of a sleek, modern aquarium. I'm currently planning a tank setup similar to yours with a custom stand as well. I will be using 1/4 inch MDF board painted gloss white for my outside finish, similar to yours. I have a question as to how you sealed your finish? The face is easy, but how'd you get a smooth finish of the edges?
 
Just breathtaking!
