I built my 100 gallon Tank. And I had a friend build my cabinet. I have a rubbed bronze frame on the tank. The glass is 1/2 inch thick. and the bottom is 1/2 inch tempered. I think it looks better than store bought ones.

The skimmer and the canister intake and return and the heater are now gone. But this gves an idea about the tank.

The picture dose not do it justice. The frame is really nice. This is an old pic.

rDr4g0n · 04-24-2007, 11:32 PM

i really like the shape of that tank. you should post some updated pics.

michael_cb_125 · 04-25-2007, 06:47 AM

Ill take some more pics today. The tank will be an SPS/clam tank. I wanted as much light as possible so I only made it 16 inches deep. 52 inches long and 28 inches wide. I have alot of surface area. And alot of space for aquascaping. I jusst dont have the hieght that many here do.

The tank looks great. Good job on the construction.
