I too wish to say it looks great can't wait to see it all covered. I do want to caution to tho cleaning wise the corners will be hard to scrape the junk out with the rock close to it I made that mistake on my 50. Just want you to keep that in mind... Following as always

Thanks guys.

I purposely used my thinnest pieces near the edge to minimize the work involved with cleaning the glass. I've actually come to prefer using a blade completely hand-held and just zipping across each pane so getting to these won't be bad at all.

I'm guessing you're still a bit chafed I let someone else drill my holes tony? It was a choice born of convenience bro please don't take it personally. I still have faith in you and your tool. Please can we move on?

Maybe she is wishing about now.... that it was hookers and blow.
And maybe show a bit more restraint.

it's not hookers and blow but here's my finished tower =) layout of the boulders on the ground may change but the primary structure is DONE. Hands are RAW from drilling and handling the rocks for so dang long.









and an awesome vertically shot phone video. ugly but it gives you a better idea...

looks awesome brett man , the way you have your structure made is going to allow the fish alot of swimming room , i went for a similiar style and notice the fish swim circles around it all day .....they wouldnt get that in a typical walled reef

kudos!!
