Order was placed with Miracles beginning of February 2012 after extensive research and shopping around. Glass was cut by Miracles 2/13/12.
Measurements are 96x36x23. 344 Gallons Rimless but with triangular corner braces (not needed without waves) but, just in case. Two internal overflow boxes, each containing two 1.5 inch drains and one 1.0 inch return. Thank you Derek for all your patience and assistance. http://i1012.photobucket.com/albums/...8/7458be98.jpg |
Cool, looks promising.
What are you for the stand? Waffleman |
Sweet....... Enjoy the road it's long and full of fun!

Miracles recommends the Reef Central stand template and provides full warranty (5 year) if plans by contractor are approved.
|
is that 3/4" glass?
so even at that length, if your are not doing waves, you can go rimless?? |
what about making your own stand? thats what im doing for mine. im using steel also
|
Wow, tagging along,
Wonder if they would warranty that tank on a diy stand |
Quote:
23" is the maximum height for a rimless 96x36. Anything higher would require eurobracing. |

Can I do it if I spend some money buying tools? Yes Would the final product look like it was my first job? Yes Would I have as much confidence as if a professional built it? No |
