ok, so here are the pics, the tank is tottaly JEDI PIMP. The tank has blown my mind countless times already. even though there is nothing in it, i just keep staring at it.

72x24x20 all starphire glass, except the over flow which is black acrylic.

I will post more pics, as they upload and i still have to vaccum to clean up the cuttings from the plumbing.

Big thanks to Seamazter (Garry) for helping out with the plumbing) awesome.

So there is very few things to do before getting water into this bad boy:

hook up return pump.
wipe out tank.

So by saturday it should see water.

polished edges.



Drilled false wall for Vortechs



over flow




sump



I was worried that the skimmer wouldnt fit, but we got it in.



starting to look like a tank.







View from the vortech hole.

Wow - the tank looks awesome.

<edit - figured it out>

Also - what thickness of glass was the tank built with?

Looking forward to more pics.

Thanks Brad, the glass is 1/2 starphire, this is my first time with starphire and it is well worth the xtra bling.
