Your right.. you cant cut glass once its been through the toughening / tempering process.. but you can do it beforehand.. edges will have to be done by a CNC polishing machine or try to find someone with a waterjet cutter and a belt machine to clean the edges.. wont be cheap.. but will be...

PLEASE HELP ME! i have a brand new tank setup.. cycled over 4 weeks.. all was well.. (barring the aptasia problem) Put a snail, Hermit crab and blue tang in tank last weekend. come home from work today and my heart sank.. my hermit crab had left his shell and died. something had been...

Okies.. yes.. i have a 34 ish US gal tank.. (i hope.. im confused between us and uk gal and why doesnt everyone just use metric these days anyway.. its SOOOO much easier.. and yes.. the Blue tangs usually like a larger tank.. but the size of this fish is suitable for my tank and...

Orright.. Success.. i went to the LFS and he told me that if i have an empty tank i should get the Blue tang first due to there ability to carry White Spot.. so we have new guests.. a v small blue tang.. (about 3cm long) whos found a nice hiding space with lots of alge to eat.. a hermit...
