Thanks for the compliments re: the sump. I was a bit nervous because I had never done something like this before, and I am pleased with the outcome. Hopefully it will work as good in practise as it does in my theory! LOL

Yes, this tank was on Kijiji a while back. Very sharp eyes! The upgrades are the new (almost identical) stand (10" taller and no MDF!) and we are now looking at changing the canopy. We need space to get the lights about 8" or so above the water line. One option is to build a new one, the second option is to have a professional build a 10" spacer between the tank and canopy. We know someone who owns a sign company and he certainly has the ability to make it look great. The question will be for how much $$$.

Thanks for the compliments - we are sure looking forward to actually getting the tank wet!
