iball1804 Posted November 13, 2011 Author Share Posted November 13, 2011 Yes. Kinda. A glass tank, like stated somewhere in this thread, the dimensions can't all be whole numbers. The way the glass overlaps on the vertices and the thickness of the glass needs to be accounted for. Does this make sense? Link to comment
NURSE33.4 Posted November 13, 2011 Share Posted November 13, 2011 I did account for the thickness of the glass and overlapping...the bottom piece would be 23.5"x14.5" even though the actual tank dimensions are 24x15...that is to account for the 1/4" thich pieces on each side... The only whole number I have is the front and back pieces which are 24" in length. Link to comment
iball1804 Posted November 13, 2011 Author Share Posted November 13, 2011 Yes but if the fronts and sides are 9.25" tall and they went infront of the bottom piece, could they just be 9"? Link to comment
NURSE33.4 Posted November 13, 2011 Share Posted November 13, 2011 Yeah that makes sense....the actual depth would then be 8.75" but it would be a 9" tall tank...you're right. Link to comment

iball1804 Posted November 15, 2011 Author Share Posted November 15, 2011 For DIY, go to like Home Depot and order some acrylic, either black or white. If not, Glass-Holes.com has some great kits. Link to comment

iball1804 Posted November 16, 2011 Author Share Posted November 16, 2011 Wonder what a tank would look like with a white background? It might look nice, but I think it will make everything in the tank look washed out. Went down to the glass shop today! http://www.nano-reef.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=286417 Your tank was so inspiring! Already posted there. Looks awesome! Can't for wait for more updates Link to comment

iball1804 Posted November 18, 2011 Author Share Posted November 18, 2011 I plan on selling some extra things around the house. (16 gallon bowfront, Coralife Mini T5, live rock and live sand) Hopefully these extra monies will push in the way of some frags. Oh yeah, I won a contest on here and got some free zoas.
