No such thing!

I really enjoyed building this tank. I don't have the right equipment but slowly am building up my inventory. My sump should go by very smooth.

Bad arse looks great nice work.

Rounded the corners as well?

Yeah corners are rounded I'll throw up more pics when it's actually inside the house and no glare. I need to get a torch so I can finish it off with a nice flame polish

Thank you. It went pretty quick. Problem was most of my piece weren't precut so I cut alot of it myself

Just got done cutting out my sump. final measurements are 34x17.5x18. Still figuring out the layout of the baffles. I kinda want a display fuse running across the front but some that have it don't like it. Just curious as to why?

 

[Goober]

Sump is glued together l. Leak testing. So far so good. Gonna have it filled for the next couple of days while I decide how to place baffles. Any idea thrown around?

Progression. Part of the sump. It's the ato reservoir. 7x16x17 for approx 8g

I'm planning to have a display fuge across the front with the drain 7" sock holder and skimmer. Can't do anymore till Monday. Hope you guys enjoy the weekend!

 

[Goober]

Here's how I have it mocked up so far. Just need to cut baffles for bubble trap. Any input?

 

[Spinner]

Sump is almost done. Just need to cut out a 7" sock holder. I need to first pick up a sock so I can get the dims. Then adding a probe holder. Going to round the corners like I did on my tank then paint the bottom and back black or I might just leave the back alone. Also still need to flame polish both the tank and sump then it'll be up and running hopefully soon
