All done. Things go quick when all the pieces are already cut. Thanks to Roger and Matt for a job well done! I need to wait a week or so to start on the plumbing and a couple of weeks to test fill.

The last couple of pictures is there water in it already? or it just looks like water...

I think you could of gone with no center braces at 30" tall.

Am I seeing things or is the base in several pieces? Not digging the poster on the wall with the ugly M logo too!!!

Tank looks great tho, big glass tanks rule!

No water in it yet. The braces are a safety factor. Maybe I could get away without them, but they certainly add strength. The builder told me I could have went up to 11X6X30" or 11X7X26" in his opinion. Next time...

The base is in two layers with the seams overlapping.

Good point on the logo. They were for my son's Rhino and never got used. I would have edited them out of the picture had I been thinking.

Any particular reason for not having one solid price for the bottom?

Thank looks great!

Glass that size is not available in North America. The builder just had some 16' sheets brought in from China for a tank they are building for their shop. Not sure how I would feel about glass from China, but I guess once you get it tempered locally it's all good.
