Oh and feel free to do different kinds of tanks/overflows/etc. Don't forget to do up directions for a corner tank :)

I think you should just do up an entire DIY book for Justin and I :) hahah

haha, ya well thats one person who would buy it..lol..now i just need a couple thousand more to make it worth it :P

Alright well there is fish and some starter coral in the tank now...thought i would show u guys some pics.. unfortunately some of the fish that entered the new tank have passed on... i have now had a clown, a cleaner wrasse, and my beautiful juvenile orange shoulder tang die. Live and learn i guess... but none the less thats life and here are some pics of the tank thus far... hope everyone enjoys

oh and just for the heck of it.... this is what im using for my overflow to prevent anyone from going for a ride into the sump or getting stuck in the gate valve.... its a return for a pond but it fits perfectly in my overflow and the holes are to big and too many for it to clog up...perfect.. the only thing that might be able to get through would be one of my really tiny fish or maybe a shrimp....maybe
