Finished putting on the euro brace tonight as well as the black acrylic overflow teeth ( 150 - 1/4" x 1 1/2" slots cut & filed by hand ). Whole inside of the tank except the euro brace has been totally siliconed, back glass as been tinted & bulkheads are in.

Pics will be up tomorrow.

Looking good Grizz, I have been workign so much overtime I almost missed this, and I do agree with YOU on the "no closed loops" I have never thought if you have enough return flow that you need a closed loop.

you going to have this beast done by summer?
