I've never heard of Miracle, but I have to have a replacement tank made for one that I maintain at a dentist's office. Debating between glass and acrylic, but I figured the glass tank would likely have to be custom, and I looked at a Glass Cages tank the other day and was severely disappointed in their silicone job. How does Miracles rate against other tank manufacturers? Don't mean to threadjack...

Looks great Rev. I love the teaser pics Derek sends - makes you wish it was being delivered tomorrow huh? lol. Craftsmanship is top-notch with Miracles. Love mine and wouldn't buy from anyone else. Love the dimensions! What is the expected arrival date?

And nice skimmer you have coming as well.

Miracles is top notch on everything they do.the silicone work is perfect,the edges are polished and beveled and the finish is superb.you can't even compare a glass cages to a miracles tank,they are worlds apart.
BTW you need one of these for the weir cutout so fish don't get into the overflow box.I made this one for my reef savvy that's getting built.

The tank should be shipped this week sometime I believe. Also I am sure they are going to have the teeth made.

3/4" glass? I have almost the same footprint as mine is 36x36x18. You're going to love the 36" width.

Here is what I made it covers the overflow "hides pipes and prevents salt spray on the wall" and then on the front it has a comb to protect the baby snocasso clowns from going for a ride...;)

Hey you need to make me one of those covers! LOL! Good idea about the spa jet returns! Does your sump not over flow when power gets cut?

I did want to use those as returns, but was nervous about drainage to the sump.
