Is it made of glass? I am hesitant on the glass as it will be a fixed to the aquarium which will make it another 6" for width which will be pretty tight to get inside doors, and also the weight factor causing stress on the glass. With the synergy style you can install once in place which is perfect.

Pics would be great, lol.

Not built yet, need to make a decision by next week on what overflows I want as he would rather drill the holes first before putting it together.

Also Synergy has a injection molded poly-carbonate version coming out, or is out, I don't know. Probably pricey but looks cool. Bulkheads are molded in, 1.5" slip fittings I believe.

The Eshopps one is only built for aquariums up to 150G.
