Hey everyone,
Totally excited about my new build! :dance:
Just picked up my 2' x 2' x 2' rimless from John @ Advanced Acrylics. I must say, his attention to detail is amazing - the tank came out great. 3/4" acrylic with rounded corners, 1.5" bulkhead for overflow, and 3/4" for return. I'm thinking of a Durso standpipe or even a Herbie.

I picked up the AI Sol and and MP10 for lighting an flow. But guess what, the MP10 will not work on 3/4" thick glass/acrylic... :headwallblue: I'm not sure if I have the extra dough for the MP40 right now. I've seen a build with the glass modified with an indention - I wonder if I can buff down a perfect cirlcle in the acrylic to 1/2" to make the MP10 sit in...thoughts?

My dad built an amazing stand for me, with the dimensions of 48"L x 24"D. I initially planned on a larger build, however, I think the cube will look awesome on top of it when it's centered in the middle (will also have A LOT of room underneath). I'll post a pic once I pick it up...
I'll be transferring a lot of my old equipment over from my current 46g w/ 30g sump as soon as I figure out the overflow piping this coming week.
Overall, planning on something like this:

Will post more pics as the build progresses.
