Very nice James! Did you make the tank also? Do you plan on adding any wood panels to the stand or are you going to leave it open?

I sure hope you have long arms! That tank is going to be a bear to do maintenance on due to the depth and width but it sure will be nice to see the finished product once it is planted I'd luv to have a tank that big!

Please keep us updated on the tank's progress

Yes i am finishing it with solid oak, going to pick that up this weekend, and i am investing in a 36" set of aqua tongs, and thank you, i did build the tank

Since I was (am) a cabinet maker, I was hoping you would say that Please let us see some pics when it is finished!

I think you are going to need them. I had the chance to see a 300g non-planted tank in person about a week ago. They are truly amazing tanks and it should be a bunch of fun.

Again, very nice work...do you hire out your skills in glass work? I would love to have a tank this size in my basement but there is no way I could get it down the steps.

I found the best way to do glass work is have a shop do it, i went to a large glass shop, the one supplies all of the little ones and had them cut drill and polish all the edges and brought it home and carried it in the basement piece by piece and put it together in the basement, god only knows how i am going to get it out of there if ever need be
