nanoty Posted September 23, 2008 Author Share Posted September 23, 2008 Thanks, I was worried a few times with the razor. They use silicone like their lives depend on it or something. I shall reveal my true theme for the tank soon............I shall build the suspense a bit more Link to comment

tenoverthenose Posted September 23, 2008 Share Posted September 23, 2008 I thought about doing the same, but wasn't brave enough. I can't wait to see yours when you unveil it. Get on with it already Link to comment
JustReef Posted September 23, 2008 Share Posted September 23, 2008 I think he wants this thread to have 10 pages of chatter before he posts any more pics. The rimless tank is going to luck good. Link to comment
Matty1124 Posted September 24, 2008 Share Posted September 24, 2008 i had all kinds of plans for a 5.5g but couldnt find one by the start of the contest... i was going to remove all the trim, then remove the front piece of glass and cut it to go across the top... so it would be a shallow tank... cant wait to see progress pics Link to comment
