I just read through this whole thread and I have to tell ya, this is the most interesting tank I have ever seen. It's like you are building the ideas I have had into a real tank. My Dad works in Fiberglass and I am planning on making a trial run on my own tank someday soon. You tank is what I would do if I had the money. LOL Awesome tank! :headbang2 I am on pins and needles here to see how this all turns out.

Sorry I haven't posted any progress, but there hasn't been much. Things have been really busy at work. I will get the glass installed this week. And I will post some new pics. Thanks for all the comments and compliments. Updates coming soon.

Well the window is finally in !!!!! I used white silicone so i could easily see air pockets, not to mention after the Granite trim is installed you won't be able to see it. I am going to let it cure for a few days then I will silicone the inside of the window. (with clear)

I got a lot of plumbing done today. I'll finish the plumbing saturday. I might silicone the inside of the window tommorrow. I think it should be safe to put water in next weekend. ( I hope!) Of course I still need to sheet the outside, trim the front, build the lids, install the lights, cut and install the backgrounds, and cycle the tank.:nilly:
It sounds like alot but, it won't take long. I'll post pics of plumbing progress tommorrow.
