GRRRR do not buy bulkheads for cheap on Amazon. My drain bulkhead snapped the heads and stripped the threads. Bought a schedule 80 bulkhead, fixed the weir so the tank will be 1 inch from rim. 1/4 scared me before. Need to wait 2 days for siliconed weir to cure.

Thanks for the heads up

Very nice. How much did all of the glass and materials for assembly run if you dont mind? I love building things myself and am now inspired to build my own tank.

not bad for $380 or so including plumbing. looks like I may have a winter project lined up after building the new stand/cabinet for my current display....lol
