Very nicely done! Did you put additonal cross pieces in the bottom frame? That will help support the plywood bottom piece in case you decide to add a sump.

I dont want to be the bearer of bad news, but your not supposed to make those top cross braces so close to the top. They should not support the bottom of the tank. The reason being, the wood may warp some over the years and make it uneven, eventually cracking your glass.

Heres the one I just finished yesterday.

^^^ thanks for the advice, they actually dont support the tank at all, the edges get all the support, the cross beams are just to give extra support so the frame doesnt flex...i think? any way the dont come near the bottom of the glass. tank on pics
