SolidWorks 2008 with Comoworks FEA add-on. For a legal license you're looking at around $8000. So unless you're using it for business you really don't need it. In addition you need to know a little about the subject to use it, I really wouldn't like to think anyone could do what I do.

Ya, figured she'd be pricy. I have some expensive software here too for my CNC milling machine. But not $8K. Dont worry, I have too much to do allready to try and figure out what it is you do too LMAO

Well the tank is officially braceless, too bad it can't stay that way. That is a job I NEVER want to do again.

The counter tops went in today

The bottom of the tank sits 2.75" below the top of the counter top. One thing I always hated about my other tanks was that I could never clean right to the bottom of the glass with the mag-float without scratching the tank. This solves that problem and makes it look pretty cool.

Looking good man.

We are going to take this tank out and replace it. We have decided to go for a taller tank 84x24x?
About the only thing good about this whole thing is that I get to smash the thing and buy a new tank with the specs I want.. So I'll probably be asking for some design help in the future.

I guess I should tell you what prompted the change... the left hand payne cracked sometime during the night. I know it wasn't broken last night when I went to bed.

Man, you just aren't having the best of luck are you?

I guess it's a blessing though, now you get what you really wanted.
