I do not know yet as far as the mazzei's.
That will be part of the experiment.

That and the light moving system.
I have no issues doing it at a crude level, but tweaking it to look nice, and be flexible is a key.

Some folks have hassled me about taking the order from Glass Cages.
However, glass tanks are made only a very limited number of ways.

They use 100% silicone, either clear or the black and glass.
Now if the glass is good stuff and thick enough, there's should be no issue.

I'm using the high line Starfire and the glass is a bit thicker than is "needed".
the cure time before filling is also going to be about 1 month or more.
I set the tanks on really good stands and use neoprene+ stryofoam based.

Even if there was an issue, having made many glass tanks and repaired countless ones, most larger than 90 gal, and given that the issues involved w/GC have been namely with smaller acrylic tanks, I have little issue.

I had the option to get the LeeMar tanks, I have connections to get them for a pretty good deal as well.

But glass is glass and silicone is silicone.

Hi Tom, looking forward to see the tanks, are you going to build the sump filter, how do you seal these things for Co2? any link i can read? can i buy them already made?
thanks

I'll take a standard glass tank, then add some glass slats and use foam insulation moulding to seal the glass lid air tight. I'll glue a slat in there to make the divider, some egg crate and I'm done.

I like Bag gravity filters and then it goes to the wet/dry tower bio(these two sections are sealed to the outside air), then a sponge, then to the equipment/heater etc area.
