    The first tank is mine most of the equip and live stock is going to new tank. The tank in the wall now i am not sure about. The front glass is in terrible shape and it was never drilled. Once i have it empty i will clean the back to see what i have to work with. If it looks usable i will probably try to drill it and reuse it if not who knows. I would love to put a 60x30x24 in it's place, but that would be one of those ultra slow builds.

    I'm not sure what your wanting here,but here's a longer shot of the new one. I thought about making the panels narrower and then making a 6 or 8 in frame that matched the panels to frame in the tank. The top one would be removable for access. I'm to afraid to try it, not like it then have a big mess to deal with.
    I don't have a clue what happend to pic

    Decided the 55 tank i had on hand was not going to work for my sump so i bought a 40 breeder. Acquiring it is a messed up story ( have to find the whine and cry section).

    That's my other money draining hobby. It sucks, all my hobbies exceed my income level. I see you have same size tank. Any pics i need ideals to steal.

    I know how that goes. I was heavily into audio a bunch of years back and I still am today just to a lesser extent.
    Too many hobbies force compromises. I just moved and upgraded my tank so it's a little bare but here's a few pics for you. [​IMG]

    Thanks for sharing, looks great.
    After becoming frustrated messing with rock i decided to build fuge stand. The glass is what I'll be trying to make some baffles with. I've cut glass before but not this thick.
