    Too big, lol! Actually looking to sell it. Measures roughly 12" x 10" opened up.

    Tank looks amazing as mentioned! My only question is, where is the cover? You have a few jumpers in there...

    Thanks! As most of the tanks around, no cover. Hadn't had a problem with any yet, but it's still new. My old 90 gallon had 3 sides closed in with the canopy on top and I still had about 10 fish commit suicide, so nothing will really stop them anyway, and I don't want the tank to look tacky with a cheap screen cover or anything on top of the glass. Would kind of defeat the purpose of an open top look to it.

    Gorgeous - that is some stunning wood work. And bonus points for the lack of wires handing down from the canopy. Now that is clean. :beatnik2:

    Thanks! I didn't like the wires hanging all over the place either, so I made sure to take care of that.

    Awesome set-up!! Thanks for the update. I think my decision to go with a peninsula build was the right one after seeing yours more complete. Everything is so clean and thought out. Great job!!

    Had someone purchase my bubble from me, so now to figure out what I want to do with the huge hole where it previously sat.
