Update. The sump stands have been painted and the 150 has been moved onto its stand. It's starting to look like a fish room.

How are you going to get the front piece of glass in to the aquariums? It seems like the lip on the front will make it difficult to put it in diagonally. But if it is deep enough you could prob shimmy it in there.
Are those hdpe tubs custom made? If not where did you buy them?
mind me asking how much the glass for the 720 is running, and who you are ordering it from? i contacted a couple places, and haven't even received an answer for an estimate... i'm assuming i would go local, but not sure if i should go through a glass shop, tank manufacturer, or what...???

That's just the basement walls. Maybe the next setup will be a concrete tank but I need to finish this one first.DUDE!!!! I see poured concrete walls?

I think that my wife would hurt me if I tried to use the basement walls for the aquarium but I like the idea.HAHA! That's what I meant. The basement walls.
What made you decide to go with glass braces? Is the plan to just silicone them down?
Sounds like a great plan. Smart idea.I was thinking about this for a while when I started to consider the top frame construction. I could have used plywood for the center braces but they are 5" wide and were going to block a lot of light. I plan to suspend my lights higher off of the tank to maximize the spread which also meant that I would get some shadows from plywood center braces. I decided that glass would be a better option for the center braces as it will allow some light to pass and will reduce shadows from the braces. I will be using RTV108 to bond the glass to the fame after it is sealed with epoxy.
