Hopefully the shipping will get better once the corona improves. But yes, I can’t even begin to imagine how expensive it is to send to the UK right now.

7 x 4 x 2, I don't think I would actually risk the shipping.

Excited to watch this build! I just priced a tank with Joe at Glass Cages. I am going to pick mine up and hopefully get a tour of the shop while I am there.

Thanks!! I went with that color as Joe and I decided together on it. He can do many colors. The smoked worked the best for me as I decided to have him black out the back.

Thanks so much! That is awesome! Joe will take care of you. It’s so nice having someone work with you through the entire customization process. You won’t be disappointed! I’d love to see your tank when it’s finished!

Looks like an amazing tank. I'm local to glass cages and I'm thinking about seeing if they can build a 4'×6'×16" lagoon tank. Your setup looks superb and love to see updates as you progress into your journey.

Thanks so much! I really appreciate it. Joe at GC @Joe Glass Cages will take good care of you. I promise! You should contact him. You won’t be disappointed! Good luck man!

Thanks @jcdeboe. That smoked is insanely radical. We do have the following available, see below. Smoked, Bronze, Emerald and White Frosted. We will also have Tinted Blue shortly. another innovation we have coming is fade away euro-bracing. Many more things as well.

I forgot to mention the plumbing list that was ordered today. I have the best custom tank designer and custom tank plumber in the world doing my build with me. His name is Joe Spina. I will send his contact info once you see the RODI and tank plumbing that we are doing. Everyone will be amazed at how he has designed the project and some of the cutting edge plumbing that will be performed. I have listed pics of the (not cheap) BRS and Sprinkler Warehouse invoices from today.
I will be posting the plumbing pics once we get the parts and tackle it! Thank you all again for following this build!

The new Glass Cages equipment was used for this project. Joe used a new glass polisher and laser. See the pics below.

Plumbing the RODI tonight with Joe Spina. We have more to go but it’s coming along. Need to get a different faceplate for the lines down to the underside of the sink. I ordered a second RO membrane from BRS to install and I’m using the silica buster as the water here in AZ is typically full of it. So I’m running cation/anion/mixed resin. We will be plumbing the RODI line directly into the stand and ATO reservoir.

We are coming along with the plumbing. Emergency drain left to do and then plumb the returns. Looking amazing I think. We have the Joe Spina special with the telescopes and sprinkler warehouse fittings. Custom and nobody else seems to use them!

The RODI system is almost complete. Have a filter trap before the pump now. Extra silicate filter and auto flush valve. Wall to tank is now plumbed and will finish the job this weekend. Have another drain and return pumps to finish this weekend too. Thank you for all of your support!!
