It's greatly appreciated.

I think I read the plywood adds stability? Is it not necessary? Or perhaps I can have it painted white first?

It adds protection to the glass bottom and it's also something to build on :) they can have the bottom blacked out , white or blue same with acrylics they have the matching colors :) as an alternative if you pay they can use acrylic sheet for the bottom :)

How about bracing? On a long one day 6' could you do rimless or would it require a euro brace?

It really depends on the overall size and how much you want to pay to go rimless (thicker glass is more expensive ) they are doing a 10ft rimless rank as we speak so anything is possible ;)

I may have to message him once I get the sizes worked out. Realistically I won't do it u till next year as I just set up my little 36" tank but it's never to early to start planning !

10 foot rimless. Lots of work left but it's in my house.

19mm base and 15mm sides. It's heavy.

That's a beauty! Where did you get it made? And if you don't mind me asking apox how much was it?

It's a concept tank. Wasn't cheap....
