True lol Thanks for the reply :) Cant wait to get this going full force.
I may be starting a second tank also :)
Getting prices on 15" cube polished and beveled glass + 13" cube sump and simple diy stand.
Going for the "no wires on tank" look. Should I do it?

Go for it! There's always room for more tanks :mrgreen:

lol Already planing for it.

Soo farr, 15" cube starphire glass polished with beveled edges delivered to my door is $190.00 :)
Sump wont cost as much, its only going to be regular glass, no bevel.

Here is a very basic tank shot via my cell phone. This makes it look very blue.
Its not actually that blue at all.

Ohhhh Noo, What have I done now? 100% Rimless 24x14x16, 23ish gallons.

Before you all have a heart attack, NO its not my Contest tank, but I could not just keep this all to myself! Had to share it will all of you wonderful people :)

Plan is to drill it, unless its tempered! This is going in my 11yrs old bedroom as a very costly night light haha.

So hopefully someone on here can suggest some cool ideas for this tank! The stand has to go however, its kinda water logged and does not look strong enough o_O

Thanks for looking!

Boxboy 10-22-2012 09:54 PM

Annnnd we have holes, its a bad way to find if glass is tempered lol

In hin sight I should have drilled the smaller hole before the larger one.
