    I love my dog...I love coral reef tanks...and I love the man working on my tank with me. He made the overflow while I refinished the cabinet, He took a part the tank while I cooked and cleaned up after him, Yes...nice rack!, and this tank is all mine! Men can build a house but it takes a women to decorate it and keep it up. Wait till you see what I have in mind for this tank!!!

    He said it is a blessing in disguise. I think so, now I have to decide what to do.
    While we were taking the old silicone off, the corner barely touched the floor and chipped. I now have to (1) cut the glass down; which would give me a more desired height for the space, (2) get a new piece of regular glass or (3) get a new piece of LE glass and if I get the LE front piece..do I get the sides done as well?? HELP!:-/

    dropped off the old front that broke in the picture and will cut 1" off the height of the tank. the old front is now the new back, ordered low iron front and two sides at the new height. pieces should be done in a week. hopefully i can get this done for her soon so i can start on my build.

    Looks like a fun project. Cant wait to see it together. Good luck with the silicone. I'm too scared to reseal my own tanks.

    went to go pick up the glass one more time from the cutter and still it isnt right, one of the side pieces were smaller than the other with a bad edge, sooner or later im hoping they get it right since im not paying for all these bad pieces and there having to eat it.

    all together now, keep your fingers crossed, going to pick up the glass for the 3rd time, hopefully they got it correct or my wife gonna make me sleep outside with the dog. at times it seems she wants this tank more than me.
