After 9 years with my 155 bow front tank it was time to upgrade. My tank is from Glasscages 84"x28"x25" tall. My stand was made from tttony (mr member).

I want to thank my good friend Charlie (charlietuna88) for the countless hours of helping me setup my tank with the whole process.

That must be one heavy motha :)! I always wished that they could come out with an acrylic tank that doesn't scratch. I woulda thought they would've figured that out in the last 25 years they've been available.

Anyway, beautiful tank. What type of filtration setup you going with?
