Heres my new rimless 17.1 gallon tank, 60 cm x 30 cm x 36 cm. I bought it from Green Leaf Aquariums in Gainesville. The quality rivals ADA tanks for almost half the price! Polished edges, basically NO silicone, and flawless all around. Its gonna be a mixed reef, i haven't decided what fish i want, maybe a pair of black clowns. I'm taking all of the parts from my 20L to make this tank so it'll have a 4x24 T5HO, 2 gal fuge, and all the LR, LS, and corals from the 20.

le pics!!


perfect Florida day to sand and paint the stand :)



de-shrinkwrapped in all its rimless glory!


solid seal for a solid tank (check out that silicone work, the germans know wassup!)

Looks like a great tank. I would love to get the 91-L from Orlando, but it is just too expensive for me right now. I am looking forward to how this is going to turn out.
Gorgeous!

I'm gonna get one of his rimless tanks one of these days...

Where's pics of the stand? :D
le stand! it was made in the 30's so we reinforced it, sanded it, and then i'll paint it black!

Oh yeah, Orlando's tanks are top notch for the price. local pick up made it even cheaper :D

Are the wheel's staying on?
WOW...I love the little GLA logo:)

I want one of those tanks...especially a reef. If only I had more money (and shipping didn't cost so much);)
That's a nice looking tank! Can't wait to see it filled up.

Probably not, theyre old and scary

catalina 4x24 SLR T5HO. sick light, TONS of power. running UVL super actinic, KZ fiji purple, ATI Blue plus, and UVL Actinic white :D
My tank should be here next week as well! I'm finally paying for it today. This is gonna be sick. You're lucky to not have to pay for shipping on a 150 lb. crate. lol ;)

yeah i bet that was fun :D
stand is PAINTED! drying and waiting for the tank. i'm thinking sky blue for the background? oh yeah baby.
its great to have a cheaper option.
That is a sweet looking tank. And I bet it'd look even nicer with a bunch of plants and a big honkin CO2 system hooked up to it :biggrin:
