On the last pane only pull it up a little way, then stop and reseect it and pull it to the top. If you dont do this it will fill in the top of the tank with a grey fill. By doing the stopping you will eliminate the filling of the top rectangle.

Does this make sense???
Ya Ive been making them the Height and length I want, then pulling them the thickness.
