What is the estimate on a tank this size?
Nice job

Here's a dumb question. Is the full tank going to sit on the carpet or do you have a stand for it? Condensation on the glass would wet the carpet and cause it to mold/rot.

It would be nice to have it drilled for a sump or wet/dry filter (just my 2 cents). It would make water changes and cleaning filters easier.

The tank looks nice and clean, much better than my repair jobs (thick and uneven lines of silicone). Well done and your ray and oscar look nice and healthy. How big is your ray?
