Do not Drill or Cut it will explode.
The only thing you can do is grind off half the thickness of the glass.

well im currently in hawaii, on vacation. hope to bring back some good pics of everything, not much is going on with the tank, cyano, has a good hold on it, my own fault i use tap water, hopefully the tank wont crash when i get back. i will post some pic when i get back.

well i got back and my bulb burnt out on me, dont really know why i updated this, i guess just for myself, when i first got the bulb it had some brown on the inside, me getting MH for the first time, didnt know if that was supposed to be there or not, but the bulb is gone, and i have to find a cheap replacement for it now, i will get a nasty FTS when i get a new bulb in there. im kinda in the same boat as JJDigital , wanting to start over and do everything right, but its more of a challenge when you try and fix it.

You've got a bit more invested already with fish and corals that I did, when I shut it down last week... So not quite the same challenge. I've already got it all mapped out for my piping and stuff... just need to get it rolling..

well not really, all of my fish are 25 bucks and my corals all fit into my 20G i didnt get anymore since i upgraded.

well, i am shutting down the bigger tank for a smaller one until i can raise enough money for a custom made cube, want to do it different this time around, so im trying to sell most of my stuff. so if anyone wants to help me out and buy my corals and fish that would be great, heres a final FTS before it comes down.

You did a great job on the stand, considering that all you used was a jig saw, a mitre saw and a drill. Regards Ken

Sorry to hear you are shutting it down man!

im surprised no one said anything about my fake anenome in the tank hahah.

and thanks for the comment, it was really well made, looks great, shame to get rid of it after all the work i put into it, but getting married in just one week, and moving in three days, into an apartment, so this is the chance to shut it down and starting a new, going for a bigger size, 28x28x24 comes to 80 for display and probably 20 for the sump, so 100 total i think that is a good size for a couple of years.
