hahaa...yeah rite...me *tanned*....sorry lah..NS din do me any good either

ooops...my gf in fact was more shy showing her face than her back...she preferred you guys to look at her *behind*...LOL...

yeah..the black silicon quite neat and was reinforced with strips of black glass along the seams of the inner tank as well...

cardboard? u mean the styrofoam board under the tank? it is actually there but was hidden by the black masking tape so as to hide away the white styrofoam lor

The tank looks like a product of tank maker from AF.Correct me if im wrong, im still searching for a source for custom tanks.

not wood definitely....not wrought iron as well...but i am sure has some iron component....it's 2 inch by 2 inch bar thick all around...

will see how to hide the sump tank..maybe go cut some black acrylic to diy some covers/doors to access the sump or some other way..hehe

yeah...full eurobracing inwards around 3 inches from edges of tank and center bracing from front to back of tank is about 7 inches....using 10mm glass just like the tank itself...
