Tank is 3 sides of low iron with a 1" PVC bottom, beveled and polished edges., the overflow is made of Acrylic, it was let to stand for curing for two weeks. 2 drains @ 1 1/2" 2 returns of 3/4" Savko bulkheads, and schedule 80 plumbing.
The overflow box has acrylic that slides down over the teeth so if you need to drop the waterline level for a wavebox.

Here's the black silicone job on the seams...pretty nice

Here's the tank getting ready for shipping

Nice tank, this is going to be a winner.

Thanks, I cant wait, custom stand being built, picking my tank up at the trucking company at the end of the week. Have Marco rocks cooking in a huge sealed tote, so all algae from my seed rocks, have been eliminated. Straight bacteria going into the new tank, no algae on the rocks or hitchhikers.

Sweet, another A.G.E owner to drool over! Nice tank, I will be expecting to see your updates.
However, this is out of the Nano size isn't it?

does A.G.E have a website? i looked at glasscages.com but looking for other tank makers as well.

Oh ho, man! That's one fantastic piece of glass! And a 10X39 powermodule on top?! This is going to be killer!

EDIT: glasscages doesn't get the best reviews online. oh and AGE isn't the cheapest but the quality appears to be... EXTRAORDINARY (in the kung fu voice)

yea seems everyone that has a GC says well for the money it was worth it but if i had more money id get AGE or Elos. Thanks for the website.

Wow. That thing is sweet looking empty. Can't wait to see that light over it!

that tank is gorgeous!!! this is gonna be a killer build! cant wait for more!!!

Thanks everyone! I just got my tracking information so it will be here at the end of the week...I hope the stand I have being built can live up to the expectations. I have been cooking the live rock for quite awhile, so when the stand is done, I will be making the transfer quickly. If anyone wants to get one of these, talk to Chris at the Fish Gallery, he is great to work with..... cbrenes@thefishgallery.com he got me my quote really fast.

dang craig, thats a badass looking tank

Thanks! I got the tracking for it, should be in Reno tonight, hopefully I get to pick it up and bring it to Max tomorrow

No, no and NO. Glass Cages has the worst vendor feedback I've ever seen, and has for years -- only a fool would do business with them.

Here's my tote, I am using for cooking my Marco Rocks, I actually had a bunch of rock I was cooking, and added the new Marco stuff . The rock has been cooking for 3 months, but the Marco was added a month ago. Here's a pic of the Euro Reef skimmer pulling some crap out. It's actually not so bad, a lot better then I thought would get pulled out.

The live rock I had cooking, had some bubble algae and was loaded with phosphates, from when I fed frozen without rinsing. So I cooked them in total darkness, in a sealed insulated tote I use for Ice. The no light conditions killed all algae, and created bacteria only rock. It took a lot of water changes to get it to that point. Amazing how much crap gets into the pores of the rock over time.

New Stand with an espresso colored stain....built by Aquarium Showroom in San Jose, Ca...promised in 4 weeks, got it in 2

Almost dead level, I will need to shim the back about an 1/8"


Polished and beveled edges, and nice clean seams

Adjustable overflow teeth to control level in tank, in case of wave makers

Picked up this sweet frag rack at our local swap....

http://www.frag-a-rack.com/catalog
Will need to order more of these sleek racks.

Slowly making the move.....
Sump cleaned, as well as skimmer, Calcium Reactor, loaded with fresh media, and CO2 tank refilled

Waiting for the cloudiness to settle, then I will move over some coral. Hope I dont have to run both tanks for too long.

bad @$$. Nice setup all around.

I meet those guys from frag a rack this last friday at the MARS auction they where pretty coll they threw down quite a bit of money on some of steve tyrees corals

Yes.

Looks awesome with water (even if it looks like milk).

Still tagging along.

BAM! I'm looking forward to the build!

How come you didnt go to the swap, i had a huge bag of chaeto, that i gave to someone else.

Thanks fellas, i wish I had a barbottom tank, then i could move the rock and be done with it. trouble with the sandbed is the rock that is partially buried, and it being toxic when you pull them out. I'll have more progress tomorrow, i have to hook up my chiller tonight...89 today

I was in the dog house for going to the mars auction and staying out until 12 and she told me that i couldnt go . I will send you the masterflex tubing just pay for shipping i really dont care i have 50' feet of it

No worries, i have tubing still....give me a couple of weeks, i trimmed it way down, but will have plenty to harvest by then. LMK, if you are ready for frags, i can send some with the chaeto.

hey so that's the ice chest you brought to the swap! Yum!

sounds good. do you need any dosing pumps or heads?

No Im good, on those....I'll pm you when the chaeto is ready to be sent.

yeah Joel, I have two of em, I told you guys what I keep in them normally

This morning, corals look good, will be making the move.

Ahh looks so clean. Beautiful!

sweeet!

fishez4alivin',
Ok, so did you go with the external overflow box over an internal one (where they would drill holes in the PVC) because you wanted the adjustable teeth part for a possible wave box? Or why did you go with external over internal overflow? Just curious. Love this tank design, size, everything...very nice. I'm mainly curious due to I will be designing one of these AGE tanks one day in the future and so I'm feeling out owners and why they chose what they did in their designs etc. No criticisms just gather up information.

I chose the external overflow, simply because it gives me the whole 40x28 footprint. Ive had coast 2 coast, and other overflows, I even made my coast 2 coast with a clear bottom, to let light through, but no matter what, its an obstruction in the tank, and with the external overflow available, I took advantage of it.
Started the move, and the natural sunlight looks awesome first thing in the morning.

That tank is just gorgeous I have to say.

Awesome build....going to look great loaded up with the rest of your corals.

Do you have a list of the corals and livestock you will be moving over?

Thanks man!

I may trade them in and go with anthias and wrasses, not sure yet, I know I am not bringing the Flame Angel over...

Quite the list you have there....those are ALL going in there? Should be something for sure.

Needs pictures. Now. How are you liking the Powermodule?

I know who i am trading with now

+1...quite the list of corals there.

I love the powermodule, it's why I went with the dimensions I ordered.


Told you I'll hook you up....you are in our local club, just start participating in the forum a little, i give hella nice stuff to the DBTC program....about 50 corals so far

New unnamed Montipora...ever seen one like this before?


Centering the light to hang it

Very nice tank! I'd be worried though about that RBTA with all those corals in there!

Thanks, I wanted to remove him, but he has never left his rock in over a year, and today, I tried to use ice, a credit card etc...and he woulnt let go, so I put him in the back.

Here are some of my corals I just transferred over.
Tyree Watermelon chalice

Bleeding apple Scoly, healing from fragging

War paint Scoly, healing sporting new skeleton

Pink sandollar

Another Watermelon

Glad to see more people fragging their scolly's. Hopefully the propagation of these will start bringing the price down. Anyone else heard of fragging rhyzos?

I have only heard of a few others trying it. Question is how long for the coral to return to a donut shape. time will tell.
Love this picture

Just about finished doing the move, just need to do a final aquascape, but I have to chisel corals off the rocks first. Need to adjust the light, it's a little off.

Had a real photographer come over today, here are a few pics

Those are some bad a$$ shots
