    I really wish that my photo bucket would work so i could post my 240 in wall build thread. Looking awesome. I really like the tile work. Looks more like a decor piece than a fish tank.

    Very nice! Tank looks great and the white stand with the glass tile really sets it all off!

    Thanks Its going to be in the middle of a room and I wanted the stand to not take anything away from the tank. I put the overflow on the side so you would not be able to see anything when you look at the tank from the front. The pipes from the overflow are going to be exposed for a couple of feet but I think I'm going to spray paint them to look like stainless steel to match the hardware on the cabinet.

    Just finished painting the pvc pipes for the tank to look like stainless steel pipes on the outside of the tank. Its finally ready to plumb.

    That looks really fantastic. I couldn't picture how you were going to run the pip, but now that I see it finished, I really thing it's awesome. Congrats.

    Awesome looking tank....I am looking for the similar tank to start up as well, low ion (starphire) glass with deminsion of 48x18x24 or 48x18x21. May I ask how much was for just the tank alone shipped to Iowa?
