Man, such a clean wall removal. I'd have drywall dust clear into the next country and there is nary a speck of it anywhere...

Neat idea with the centre overflow, you don't see too many 4 sided viewing tanks too often ... which is too bad I think it's kinda neat. Good on ya' man.

Tony, I had to keep it clean for two reasons:
1-If I leave a huge mess, my wife would kill me. I'm serious.
2-Two very active little girls in the house. Self explanatory.
As for the centre overflow, I am really going to try to generate a good sized wave in this thing, and a centre overflow I believe is the only way I am going to accomplish it. I'm quite happy with everything so far, a long way to go though.

I too make a huge mess with demo but my wife has learned to just deal with it if she want something done fast

and all my kids are grown up, it's just the grand kids and the occasional guest who have little ones so that is not to much to deal with.

I look forward to more updates and pics too.

Imagine how easy it would be to force a gyre in either direction with the overflow there too. You speak of the glass arriving...are you building the tank yourself?

Ya, kind of. Because of the size I had to build on site, so it will be built here, although I think that I will just be a helper in this case, I'll leave the build for someone with a little more experience.
