davelin315 January 28, 2008 Share January 28, 2008 Thanks! I fixed the name for you. I also have a couple of questions for you. Is that a rimless tank all the way around? Also, how do you feel about the clear overflows (and is there anything on them to strain the water or does it simply flow over the edge)? What are some of the pros and cons of them? I know that most overflows are opaque so that you can't see what's in them, but I had Dan build me an overflow/skimmer box with a clear side so that I can see into it, any advantages to this arrangement that you have noticed with your setup?

jtro January 30, 2008 Author Share January 30, 2008 (edited) center and side supports euro braced I think. I have no screens on the overflows the fish seem to stay away only have had one go down but no others. I do not mind the glass overflows but I will let the purple cover them havent painted the back either i wlike it that way so i can look in the back. I do like the clear so you can see if anything is going wrong. Edited January 30, 2008 by jtro Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
