				 lockrookie's 50g tank build 
 i bought a 50 g tank i was going to use as a qt tank and just have too many other ideas. and i need to keep my mind busy so here it goes.
 im going to build this tank like a mini peninsula tank like ive been seeing so many of you doing. it has inspired me i want to set this tank up in our basement for our daycare kids. tax right off? i can try. as well im always tired of looking at a tank  from one side i see the kids always fighting for a spot to see whats going on. thus the peninsula or room divider style will be made. besides they love the clown fish and i think i will keep minimal fish and more corals.. maybe. stock list will be decided later
 
 i currently have a 20g fw that sits up against the wall with mollies.. i used to have ciclids but a heater malfunction cooked them. well not all some survived and now reside in a daycare parents home tank. it will eventually become the sump. i will rehome the mollies and already have found a new home for the 7 inch long plecostomus.
 
 so this is what i got so far:
 50g tank
 20g sump
 quiet1 4000 return
 3 10g tanks to slice up and drill for overflow
 going closed loop with another pump i have instead of powerheads
 most plumbing parts still need a few more pieces
 heaters
 
 still need:
 hole bit
 skimmer
 lumber for stand i have a cool idea for the stand to make it kid safe....no peeking till its done
 timer bar
 lights i have some but they wont last long only pc light.
 adhesive
 and whatever else i cant think of atm
