    Nice,

    Just curious, did I miss the cut-outs, holes in the top of the stand for the plumbing the overflows and returns, or are they going out the back ot it?

    You guys should use one of the Waveline pumps for a return. I ordered mine from you a few months ago and couldn't be happier.

    Looks awesome!

    I thought the point of euro bracing was to eliminate center bracing? Did he have to use the center glass bracing just because of the glass thickness and length of the tank?

    good question, I think its because of the 8' length, otherwise we would need to go much thicker and more $$ on the glass.

    Hopefully we will have it plumbed soon, very busy around here!
