the drop down will be 19 mm
the bottom panels will all be 19 mm

sides will be 15 mm low iron

brace will be 15 mm low iron and 10 mm low iron

hard to explain but it will be a double brace with 15mm at 2.5 inches wide and 12mm at 3 inches wide. i want to make a lip on the brace where i can pressure fit netting in there so i can keep wrasse this time around.

i have got this crazy idea i want to put 7 pairs of hawaiian flame wrasse and whatever else that i found cool.

hay Mike the more the merrier, i will text you when i am ready

thanks Dave

so tonight i had a chance to play with the placement of the stand, the more i moved the pieces around the more i was not liking the way i had it planed out.

i am starting to like how this came out, so what do you folks think

or should i just stick with the original configuration?

I don't think you gain much by moving that section down a bit. Personally I like the original version, just my 2 cents. You will actually lose a bit of viewing area, unless of course you can freely walk around the far end of the tank.

Instead of that 2' jog in the back, why not make one long straight viewing pane? That will give you more room back there too.

I think you're going to have issues with leaks where the drops joins the upper portion of the tank on the left side of the drop. How do you plan to keep it from wanting to pull apart? A lip holding the bottom of the drop in place so it can't push out to the right? Hard to describe....

How is this coming along? We are looking forward to seeing this up and running.

Dude, is that a drop off section on the right hand side?
