Emerald525 Posted March 19, 2016 Share Posted March 19, 2016 I have never met him but I have heard if Ruben. I love the shallow tanks! Maybe it's because I have short arms! Looking forward to seeing your bike thread! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
milesmiles902 Posted March 19, 2016 Share Posted March 19, 2016 I have never seen an overflow in the center of a tank. Where did you get it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SALTY Posted March 19, 2016 Author Share Posted March 19, 2016 I have never seen an overflow in the center of a tank. Where did you get it? I had the tank built with the overflow in the center so the tank could be viewed from all four sides. I had a friend build the tank for me. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
milesmiles902 Posted March 19, 2016 Share Posted March 19, 2016 Huh. I can imagine it is pretty hard to cut a rectangle in the middle of a piece of glass. I don't even know how you would do it. Can't wait to see it come to fruition. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can't wait to see it come to fruition. Tank is acrylic. You can not cut a rectangle in glass. Well you can try but will end up with many pieces I used to work at a glass shop many years ago and the only way to get a hole is to drill. What stand are you going with? Tall short? Looks almost the same as Jasons tank at OIAB. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SaltyJay Posted March 19, 2016 Share Posted March 19, 2016 Very cool! I've always wanted a center overflow tank but never had the right spot to put one. Looking forward to seeing it up and running. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only way I could come up with is use a grinder for the edges and file it from there. Acrylic makes more sense. @Salty What do you plan to do for the stand? Custom build it? It sounds like you have a plan. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
