Wow! you make it look so easy in the pictures, I would never be able to make something like that, :/!!!

Wow ... that is one amazing build, I love everything about it !

Hello Ryan and LostAcc, thanks for the positive comments.

NICE. COULD YOU EXPLAIN TO ME YOUR BUILD. I AM PLANNING ON BUILDING ONE SOON. WHAT ARE YOU PLANNING FOR FILTRATION. ALSO WHAT DOES THE STRIP OF PLYWOOD AROUND TANK SERVE ON TOP

Thanks. Welcome to MFK. I suggest you read through the DIY section before starting your project. There's tons of info and ideas in it and once you're ready you can post your own build thread. The MFK community will be more than willing to assist you if you need help and have questions. Good luck.

My 265 leaks and I had contemplated taking the front piece of glass and making something exactly like this. Still contemplating...

Sorry to hear about that. How long has it been running and where is it leaking? I have a 120g ply/drylok tank running for 10 months now with no issues. Its a growout but I'm planning to keep it stocked just to see how long it will last. I'm keeping my fingers crossed on this build.
