P.S. Is there anyone out there (in Calgary) who can drill a couple holes for 1/2" bulkheads? Bueller? Bueller? Anyone?

I can drill the holes... just need the drill bits.. haha.

I am borrowing a 3/4" if you wants to go that size...

As for your stand... I would mostly be worried about the roller wheels giving out before the rest of the stand.

Finishing touches being completed today and tomorrow (hopefully)! It's simple but I hope it looks good. *knocks on wood*

Pictures to follow.

Ran into a bit of a glitch. I siliconed in the corner overflow, and for some reason, miscalculated the height of it. Oops! So, the water literally comes to the VERY top of the aquarium, without spilling. It makes me highly nervous! Would it work to use a diamond-coated dremel bit and cut some slits/slots in the overflow? Like, 1/2" slots? Or would the glass crack? Ideas?

Hey guys. Sorry...I won't be able to remain in the competition. I spent my whole budget on this damn tank, and....it cracked and broke and caused a huge mess. UGH. What a waste of money. Oh well.

Good luck to the rest who are still competing. If anyone needs another judge with more than 3000+ posts, I'm here
