Lalani Posted August 14, 2013 Share Posted August 14, 2013 Sorry about the losses, but this is a great tank. Nicely done. Link to comment
4x5 Posted October 14, 2013 Share Posted October 14, 2013 Thanks for sharing, your tank is most excellent. Link to comment
Guillz Posted December 28, 2013 Share Posted December 28, 2013 i've been a fan of this tank for a while now and I'm planning a shallow rimless build (30L x 14W x 10H) and was wondering if the 1/4" glass you used was thick enough to prevent bowing of any kind. Thanks. Link to comment
Neto Posted January 14, 2014 Author Share Posted January 14, 2014 i've been a fan of this tank for a while now and I'm planning a shallow rimless build (30L x 14W x 10H) and was wondering if the 1/4" glass you used was thick enough to prevent bowing of any kind. Thanks. for the height that I used It is perfect.. No bowing at all Link to comment
Neto Posted January 14, 2014 Author Share Posted January 14, 2014 Any updates Neto? Yeah sorry guys I need to provide an update, tank looks very different now.. I have been lazy taking pictures lately but will try to get a few soon. Link to comment
iadubber Posted January 14, 2014 Share Posted January 14, 2014 I still can't get over how much I love this tank! Link to comment
TVantus Posted January 14, 2014 Share Posted January 14, 2014 Can I put a tang in that size tank like you did Link to comment
BRADYBUNCH7 Posted January 16, 2014 Share Posted January 16, 2014 Nah the space may seem ok... But then comes waste buildup and you never want that unless you are planning to have some crazy equipment on you tank! Link to comment
BoricuaNY Posted January 23, 2014 Share Posted January 23, 2014 Awesome tank! Very inspiring, I was wondering when you put the glass of the tank together did you have to use clamps to hold it all together? I'd love to try it out, any tips for putting the tank together and what tools you used would be helpful. Thanks Link to comment
Neto Posted February 13, 2014 Author Share Posted February 13, 2014 Can I put a tang in that size tank like you did It used to swim around very well before all the SPS started to grow.. However its kind of a chicken now and hides a lot. I am re-homing it soon to a friends 300g tank so he can be happier. Awesome tank! Very inspiring, I was wondering when you put the glass of the tank together did you have to use clamps to hold it all together? I'd love to try it out, any tips for putting the tank together and what tools you used would be helpful. Thanks Since the tank is so shallow and the sides dont weight that much, I only used tape to hold the sides in place while the silicone dried. The only tools you will need are tape, masking paper (to cover the centers where you dont want any silicone), silicone (aquarium safe), razor blades and silicone gun. Be confident and fast.

ChouDawg Posted April 9, 2014 Share Posted April 9, 2014 Update on this shallow awesomeness? Link to comment
Carnival Posted April 9, 2014 Share Posted April 9, 2014 Beautiful tank and stand, excellent work! Think you can send me some info and how you built the tank itself? I've always been interested in a DIY tank but have questions on how to silicone it together and stuff. Send me a pm if you get a chance I'll be following along! Link to comment

Miguel Burguete Posted November 1, 2014 Share Posted November 1, 2014 Great tank! I started one this week with exactly the same size! I was waiting for a long time from an update from you! Love that tank man! Link to comment
Neto Posted November 1, 2014 Author Share Posted November 1, 2014 Great tank! I started one this week with exactly the same size! I was waiting for a long time from an update from you! Love that tank man! Thanks! You should search for Zook's tank, thats a totm with the same dimentions as ours Link to comment
4x5 Posted November 5, 2014 Share Posted November 5, 2014 Good to see you back. Looking forward to seeing the next chapter. Link to comment
Neto Posted November 5, 2014 Author Share Posted November 5, 2014 Good to see you back. Looking forward to seeing the next chapter. Thanks, your tank is fantastic, congrats on TOTM.... I am actually going to change the light fixture very soon to a T5 ATI unit 6 or 8 bulbs. I have a 6x24 powermodule pending for pickup this saturday but I want to see if I can get a 8x24 fixture first. Link to comment
4x5 Posted November 5, 2014 Share Posted November 5, 2014 Thanks. Your tank was one of my inspirations to go with something shallow. The 8x24 is so sexy, unfortunately we don't get them in South Africa anymore and importing is really expensive. Not sure if you're looking for used (which would make more sense price wise) but there are some new ones on eBay. Link to comment
