some help...

Update:

So I found out I can't get a frame for the 72 x 33...
I'm going to have to cut it to 24".

I have my 72 bow but I just don't feel happy with it.
I have the old 150 but even that didn't feel right...
the 6' length threw off my 4' bulbs and I didn't want to get less watts from a 3'.
If I go bigger, that means more wattage, more additives and more cost.
I want a 4' x 4' tank or a 5-6' cylinder.
Nothing is satisfying my reef itch right now... boooo!

I need to become an over night million-aire! Anyone have any inside tips????? lol...

Thanks all!

 

I would not use the side wall as a bottom--reason being is most tanks only temper the bottom for a reason. My 150 Oceanic bottom glass is MUCH thicker than the walls. Even if you support it with the stand (I believe you said you would build it like a patio deck), If that wood warps even the slightest bit. The glass WILL Crack. Man be careful on this one!!! I know you are smart, cause I have read several of your posts. But I think you should re-consider this one. Not Bashing, just concerned......
