    In my sig there is a link to my diy build. I did the stand, rocks, lighting, coast to coast overflow, and sump baffles. I was tempted at first to do the tank but you probably need several hands, some good jigs, and a cheap glass place. By the time i bought the glass and silicone, i was getting close to being able to buy a tank. You also have to do some euro bracing since you wont have the rim on the top. I love diy but the tank was even more than i wanted to mess with.

    I felt like I was cheating going there HA!

    "Here are a few pictures of my biopellet reactor , it is running 9 gallons of media right now , so far all it had done is killed some of my acros but it does tank a lot longer for the glass to get dirty . I have been adding the media slowly so I dint shock anything .
    and a picture of the two 24 inch skimmers running ..... " wow

    Funny thing is he wants to build a 60k+ tank now. Not sure you can even call that a tank though...:cool:

    I'd call it a private deep sea diving tank. Lol. I'm glad he's building tanks. I wonder if tanks that big encourage the fish to reproduce with no human interaction
