I stirred things up a bit so it's a little cloudy but here it is. I'll take another pic when it settles down and things open up more.

very nice. It's different for a home aquarium! The only think i'm not crazy about are the corner wood. It takes viewing space away.

The corner pieces are so when you scrap Coralline algae of the glass you don't have to scrap into the silicone. Over time it leaves you with a ragged seam that doesn't look good.

Great carpentry work. Maple/Walnut is a classic combination that's one of my favorites. I also agree on the coralline in the front corners. At 30" deep, the bottom corners will be tough to get to. What glass thickness?

Looks good. I like the wood on the corners. It makes it look bigger than it is.
