lockrookie's 50g tank build

[lockrookie]

well i used my hammer/locksmith tool with razor blades and pliers, flat screwdriver and slowly chipped separated the two pieces of glass( with alot of sweating and nervousness) so far without damaging the glass i still have the two short sides to do. hopfully it goes the same

also i picked up a diamond bit for notching the one panel for the overflow i am going to test it out on one of the chunks i took off first before i attempt the tank and maybe on a 10g. practice makes perfect. if i can succeed without breaking it i will be a happy camper. the upside is the bit is the perfect size i can make it in one pass and should reduce vibration and breakage.

then i have to plan put the next scary part drilling the holes for the overflow and for the closed loop/flow tree to hide in the rocks.

will let you all know if i get the rest of the glass off with out breakage
