Ok, I have just little less than a month over here then I will be back home and ready to tackle my new tank.

Just a quick update I've decided to go with glass over acrylic and ordered my tank today and it will be ready for me to pick up as soon as I return home.

I decided to go glass for several reasons, but the biggest reason is for the scratches and plus I love the look of the Starfire glass.

I talked to the builder of the tank and they told me after they drill the holes in the bottom glass then they temper it.

So he assured me that that It wouldn't crack and it would be safe. I know that the potential will always be there that it will crack.... I just hope that luck will stay on my side and it want.

I can't wait 1) to get home and 2) to start my tank.

I will post pictures of the tank and stand once I get home and pick it up from the dealer.
