    So finally after about 6 months I got my tank up and running. To give a little back story I ordered a 30x30x16 tank from glass cages. I was so excited up until I got it home, the stand was a disaster and had to be ripped apart and rebuilt, thanks Merle, there was also no silicone in the seams of the corner only between the panes of glass, so I fixed that as well. I am still not completely happy but I decided to make the best of it and put it all together.

    Tank is being powered by a aquatop 900 gph return, reef octopus 110 skimmer, 1 mp40 and 1 wp25 had to get creative with the magnet on this cause of half inch glass. It is being lit by a maxspect razor led, still on the fence with the light but we will see.

    Pictures up next.

    Nice looking tank Mike----Did you contact the company about the condition the tank and stand were in? That really sucks!
    Looking forward to future photos.

    Looks nice! Too bad about all the extra work you had to do but it looks like it paid off.
