no problem, hope its still working out for you. this one will be available soon. side panels are being made by my cabinet guy. im kinda picky when it comes to finished look. the doors have glass inlays, so it should look great once its done.

ya.. the tank is doing fine.. Although the top part of the glass fell recently.. I suspect the culprit is my two silver arowanas... it hasn't affected the tank at all.. even without the center bracing piece.. other than that.. the leak is almost non existent..

Here's pics of it.. and vid..

let me know what you guys think. its still in progress. my fish kicked into overdrive, and grew super fast. so im actually looking to upgrade now.
 
the 150 looks good. try and put that brace back in. silicone bro. just lower the water level for a couple days.

ya.. i'm actually doing that.. it fell sometime monday.. i've been lowering hte water level back.. need to cut some arcylic pieces as support to slide the glass in to prevent it from falling again.. even if the silicon fails..

BTW.. which silicon is best for aquarium glass? I heard theres a difference between 1 and 2 for silicon
 
I can't believe there are actuallu pics at the end! O. M. G! lol

Looks really good man, those cats look really happy... for now! lol

i use the 100% silicone from home depot. usually in the window and glass dept. make sure you dont get it with any mold resistant chemical. 100% silicone
