I started over. Purchased lots of glue and epoxy. Here is the first section. This is much more enjoyable and I am much happier with the results so far

This is a great build. I’m looking to do a similar sized tank. Curious, I believe this is getting eurobracing, right? Will you have cross braces too? Was rimless an option with the 72 inch length?

Pretty much done, just waiting on the glass bowl to show up hopefully in a few weeks! The skin on the stand is held in place by magnets. I built the frame and the wife took care of the paint and stain.

ALMOST DONE!! So excited, can’t wait for it to make it through its final stages and then onto its final resting spot.

Alright, I must say I'm jealous of your sump area and the clean look of all the wirring. It is something I strived for but could never accomplish.

That looks awesome! I’m planning a similar build from glass cages in the next year as well. I’m looking forward to seeing your progress.
