heres a peak before shes finished.

Acrylic can break just as easily as glass, in fact the base of an acrylic tank needs surpporting more than a glass one does.
 
im sorry but im going to have to disagree with you, i have had years of experience with acrylic and im going to guarantee its not going to break. anyways the tank has been on that desk for years, even full of water, for a long time it had 80 pounds of rock in it for my cichlids.
 
The tank entirely spans the desk which means its engaging at least 3 load-bearing members. No problem!
 
its only half full so my gouramis will breed, but im waiting on my female electric blue dwarf. yeah like i said i guarantee that's its not going to break, but i constantly get people who see it in vids and say oh its not safe get it on a stand.
 
You should add some water sprite or some floating plants. The surface seems to have too much movement for the gouramies to build bubble-nests. I like your snails.

Don't get offended with the other members, it's just they're trying to be safe and warning you. :)

Sweet tank!
 
oh no i didn't get offended i just wanted to enlighten them that it was safe. thanks for the comment on the snails and the advice for the gourami i need as much as i can get, besides water level and temp of course i know that.
