    Posted: August 30 2010 at 8:00pm
I just got it up and going this last weekend. I used water, rock and some sand out of an older tank. I still need to build a nice frame and doors around the stand. I built the tank myself I had Kellys Staind Glass flat polish all the edges for me. This is my first tank I plumbed with the Herbie style syphon setup and I have to say it is quite nice, its completely silent. It has a Tek 6 bulb fixture and a Vortech MP-10 for flow. The tank is rimless 46"x20"x12"
Flat polished edges

I will have to check which bulbs for you when I get home. They are all Geismann bulbs. It appears a little more blue in the pics then it actually is in person.

That's a beautiful tank. Nice work. I really like the Coast to Coast overflow on the side Clap 
 
I was considering building mine out of acrylic but my budget got in the way so I went the cheep route and used a stock tank.
