Ritmars' 270g build

[ritmar]

Thanks dv3

I just trimmed out the boxes.

 

[ritmar]

I got all (15) holes drilled. Now to weld on the overflow boxes.

That's nuts, I like it. Did you put two acrylic sheets together to make one? Looking sweet, what kind of lighting is the tank going to have? Have you thought of a sump system or is the current one going to fit into this one?

 

[120greefman]

I just gotta say nice craftsmanship. I only wish I had those skills.

 

[ritmar]

I got three 4'x8' sheets of acrylic. Lighting will be LEDs. No thought on sump yet.

Here is an update on the tank.
Plumbing is complete.
