175 rimless peninsula build

[fishoutawater]

After years of reef addiction and little tanks(40gal and smaller), and suffering tank envy every time I went to a buddy's house and had to stare in wonder at their 210 or similiarly sized reef, I finally got a big tank. It measures 4' x 3' x 2'
and is made out of 3/4" glass.

Broken bowfront brace removed and build is officially started.

This overflow is not going to work, I think I want to route out the back pane and do an external overflow, I will just use the holes drilled in the bottom for a closed loop. Any thoughts/insights on this would be appreciated.

Very cool. I've never seen a bull nose tank made of glass. Do you know who built it?

very interesting tank. Is the brace for the bullnose cracked or is it just the picture?
