That's so nice and clean!

You braced around the bottom didn't you? I think I see it. What did you use there?

calamari · 03/29/2011, 12:31 AM

wow...that looks fantastic!! great job!!!

geaux xman · 03/29/2011, 12:35 AM

your silicone job looks better than GC tanks...

When can i place my order for a custom 84x33x26" tank?

Brovo!

Now let's see the three of you carry that in the house..

How'd you get the Styrofoam under it?

dahenley · 04/02/2011, 10:03 PM

i have built a few overflow boxes, and i always take a sheet of acrylic and cut my teeth, then bend it.
or, i cut teeth, and then cut the panels and glue them. (depends on if there is a glass backing. if so, i bend. if not, i glue.

its hard to cut teeth when its already bent.

wakesurfdan · 04/02/2011, 10:59 PM

I route the teeth I don't cut them usinig a pattern and router set up with a collet

I like the stand as well. How hard was that to DIY? I've been thinking about trying my hand at building one.
