Very cool guys! Jamie was the first guy I got coral from! Good to see u back!

When we were renovating one of my martial arts schools, we had to take glued down carpet out too. It was glued on the original wood floors from 1901... it turned out great, but a major pain!

Edit: hey eddie.... haha we spent a lot of time on those.. not for sale. but we're planning on selling custom acrylic tanks and equipment later on in the year, once the store is up and running.. we're focusing all our energy into finishing up the store in the next couple of weeks.. still lots to do.. still have our 300 gall and 600 gall show tanks to build out and our 300 fish only tank to work on, as well as the 4 other 8 foot by 4 foot coral tanks.. the store will eventually be packed wall to wall with tanks..

Ok, thank you for getting back with me. That's exactly what I am looking for in glass, but with 16 inch sides.

Let me know when you start building them.
