So i picked up the tank from @daveH recently and quickly got it home to start planning the build

Its 100x50x45 PPG starfire, Rimless and braceless

Originally i was going to go eurobrace again but dave thinks i should try rimless again so ill give it a go.

In the process of modifying the stand to suit my dosing pump containers and ATO

This is where i am up to

Lol, I always grab the kitchen tea towel as soon as the maintenance bug bites. There are always drips on the outside glass when I get my hands in too:D
Had a four foot freshie tank 6mm glass all euro braced, no drips, my three foot rimless is 12mm glass and twice the price to build as the four foot euro.

 

[Sam Parker]

madness...... Just go the brace!

 

[MTG]

Haha euro is usualy my thing just my tank builder was being shit and wasnt available to drop it off to get it done so rimless it stays
