Yeah I was thinking the same but he stated above that the glass for the euro brace hasn't been installed yet. But what is the glass thickness out of curiosity?

Hook the HRV up to your furnace vents and then you probably don't need an intake right next to the tank. It will work to keep the whole house circulated that way.

I guess I read all the posts but that one.

The glass is 5/8'' on the sides and 3/4'' on the bottom there is internal bracing in all corners for strength. It also has double euro bracing on top with a 3' center brace.

Anything new on this tank?

[chris c]

So the tank is finally full of water and live rock. It has been a very long build so far and still so much to do. So far I have installed my skimmer, heaters, 1 of the return pumps and my reefkeeper elite. I have just picked up my lighting it is 4 250w lummax reflectors and galaxy ballest. Just need to build a rack to hold them. My other big problem is a very large gorilla crab that I can't catch. So that is all of the latest info on the tank pics to come soon.

Thanks Chris C
