2.5 Gallon tank, no name:

This 2.5 gallon tank below is a very well made, non-branded tank, with Metaframe-style tapered uprights.

Each edge piece is individually formed and then spot welded together. All edge pieces that hold glass or slate on this particular tank have slight inward bend for a nice framing effect, and to help keep the black sealer goop from oozing out during construction. On this tank's top (and bottom) rail corner ends, a more elaborate trim shape than the more typical simple rounded off corner is used.

The bottom pices on this tank are miter cut at a 45 degree angle, with no overlap. All the top and bottom pieces are butted together and then connected together by spot welding a small triangular piece of stainless across the joint.

The same method is use to join the top frame pieces.

All the top and bottom pieces are welded using a small triangular piece of stainless.
