Norg's frag system (Big update pg 42)

looking good

 

is that 6ft tank a cut down from a taller tank? if so elaborate the process ive been toying the idea. but dont want to completely tear apart the panes and reseal.

 

Thanks guys!

The six foot tank was formerly a 180 gallon tank. The previous owner took it to a glass shop and had them cut it down for him. He also install two supports in the middle for good measure. The rim around the bottom was originally from the 180. Its a good idea if you have the tank laying around or can get one for cheap but getting the glass cut will most likely be the most expensive part to get done.

 

I fraggin love this thread

 

Any updates to the system sir?

 

I got all of the shelving and lighting is close to being done as well as getting my softy system in place. The corner tank was scheduled to be siliconed today, but last night a friend of mine was over and ended up shattering a panel of my frag system under construction. I dont have the specifics on that piece of glass and how it was beveled which scares me a bit... I need to get that panel cut again and continue forward with the build. Hopefully I can get the corner tank siliconed in the next couple days.

 

Norg your tank belongs in an lfs. Hahaha BEAUTIFUL! Good job!

 

I may have to have a look again, AFTER you see my DT! LOL

Keep up the good work.

 

I hope you can find a good lass shop to cut that glass for you. Are the other sides beveled the same as that peice was?

Thanks! Well, its not done yet and not totally stocked. Ill say it looks good then. Maybe. lol

Id love to see your DT Todd! Ill make my way over there soon! I promise. But thank you for the compliment.

I think I found a shop that can do it. It was just plate glass which is good. I thought it wasnt. But I dont know exactly how long it was or how it was beveled. It was pretty much the worst piece that could have broken.
