To fill or not to Fill????????

1/2" Clear Glass

45" x 20" x 26" tall. (100 Gallons)

Corner clamps... No Frame on top...... Ghost overflows.....

I filled it 2/3 in the garage..... would you fill it in the house?????

Why didn't you fill it all the way in the garage?
I'd fill it 100% in garage first and let it sit for a few days. If that was all good I'd try it in the house.

Because I didn’t want o plug the overflow holes. ��

Th e overflow holes at the top? likes like you have lock-line installed. Just face them up and above the tank...Sounds like impatience to me!

ALWAYS test fill an aquarium in a safe place first. Fill to just below the overflow line or the better option plumb and install completely to test all the fittings.

Looks like you've got to back track a bit or just roll the dice

Agree. Leave filled in garage. Heat it. Holds water a week. Good to go.
Or gamble.

I’ve run the tank in the garage for week and took it inside. 120gallons on the floor might lead to martial problems.

Martial, like martial arts... You mean like getting kicked in the face?

If you're nervous about it, just add a glass cross brace.
