Tank arrival! It's a thing of beauty! Dave's crew built an outstanding tank - they really did a great job. The tank even came in under the quoted price. There is a mistake though, a missing detail, which is why it was under quote. I talked with Dave about it, and he took responsibility for the mistake like a true businessman, he even offered to replace the tank. I said I didn't want to do that to him, I didn't get charged for the missing detail anyway. I doubt anyone would notice if I didn't mention it. Let's see if you guys can figure out what it is.
I'll get some better pictures when there is better light in the house. The reflection on the glass was killing me! Oh, and sorry about the ghetto light stand - I don't have the light hanger installed yet. Here you can see the size difference with my 50-gallon beside it. Eurobracing detail. Vinyl covering on the overflow box and weir overflow detail. Perdy bevel and polish on all edges. Last edited by Myka; 06-14-2015 at 03:30 AM. |

No teeth on the overflow?

Regular glass, not starfire?

Yes, this is the missing detail! The tank is 3-side Starphire and the eurobrace was supposed to be Starphire too, but it's just plain float. It's a beautiful green one-piece polished eurobrace.
Regardless, I'm still happy with the tank. It looks great - super sleek. |

25% right. I think my dark pics threw you off. That's how it's supposed to be. Though I think I made the gap too big. Me too! Thickness is fine. |

I started off with no teeth on my overflow because it's supposed to pull the water better. All was well for a few months until some of the smaller fish found out it was a water slide! I was pulling fish out of my overflow or sump every day. Beautiful looking tank BTW!

Lovin the new tank Mindy
For your overflow ... You could silicone some small glass strips inside the box - one set for spacers and slightly thicker than the acrylic you'll use, and a second set to hold a sheet of acrylic with teeth cut out of it. Then you just slide your acrylic up and out of the box for cleaning. I realize you'll lose some of the weir effect, but it'll keep your critters where they belong.
