This is the start of my new 180-gallon reef build. Some guy on Facebook was selling glass for $50, stand included. The only problem is I have to glue it my self. This is probably going to be a long process since I already have a 125-gallon reef tank. I plan on building this new tank and moving my old tank and putting the new one where the old one currently is. I'm probably going to have questions down the road when it comes to the silicone part since I have never done this before.

You got more guts than I do! Lol. I would never have the nerve to put a tank of that size that I siliconed myself in my house. Good luck and be sure to take lots of pics.

Thanks! of course, I'll water test it and make sure everything is good. I have @Redfoxtang going to help me out with what we can over the internet. He built a 200+ not sure the exact measurements. I'm probably going to wait a few weeks to get started. Got some bills to pay before I can buy a bunch of stuff for the tank build. But I will definitely take a lot of pictures.
