Hello fellow San Antonian.

Hi! Small world!

 

[its.jojo]

Welcome to R2R. Love the handmade tank....completely envious of your skills!

Thank you.

I got lots of good advice on some of the diy stuff right here on r2r. My main skill has been lurking around here. Lol

that is a jaw dropping tank and more so because you made it! welcome to the community of R2R!

I have never built a tank, but do you think a brace across the center would have helped the bowing? I know its kinda late now to do it, but maybe for future reference (and maybe for reference for me if I ever get the courage to build one) ?

Hey ya'll! Im Joseph from San Antonio, Texas. I joined about a month ago but I've been in the hobby for about 4 years and I love it. My favorite parts are diy and corals. I got a build thread up and running of my new setup. I happy to chat and learn about the hobby from ya'll!

I have attached a pic of my current system that I'm working on replacing soon. It's a hand made rimless acrylic peninsula 24X36X16.

Nice tank man !!! and WELCOME to R2R!!!

The main goal for that tank was to be braceless. I thought I could pull it off.

But after that tank, the only way I’d build one now is with a full brace all the way around. Eg. cutting a top piece that covers the entire top opening and cutting out an opening (leaving a brace that is a minimum of 2” all the way around from a solid piece). And I really mean minimum. Keep an eye on my build thread. The new tank is in the works. Handmade as well. But with a hefty brace this time. And much larger water volume.
