Nice! That's huge!

Why so deep on a frag tank? You could get by with much less intense lighting if you make it more shallow. Just a thought.

Did some work on It last Night Got the top and Bottom welded up Hoping to have It finished tonight. This Is going to be Fun!!

Here are the Tanks Don't mind the mess the Guy I Got them From Layered Glue and From Insulation to keep the Tanks warm in his garage it scrapes of with a Razor...Thank you Craigslist!!
