i know things just came together nice for the overflow concidering the glass i used for it was the original main brace that went across the tank tha i had removed then shortented for height and the sides where cut out of the original main pane that was cracked. i was origianlly going to use the 5 mil glass for the overflow but decided last minute that it was a bad idea and the 1/2 would add to the strength.

after discussing with my father my power issues. meaning i really wanted to put the tankon its own breaker i will be running (hopefully) a 3 wire line to the inside of the tank to but the tank on 2 diferent breakers one fro half the lights and pumps one for the other half so if one fails hopefully the other continues incase of accidental trip (for example my old t5 lights got moisture in them and blew the breaker constantly) i still have to figue out how im goingt to get the wire from point a to point b with a my finished basement as well as my ato top off line and a wire to my homes alarm panel for a water bug. i will be using my home alarm system as a warning controller for certian issues with the tank since it is a monitored system.

since i havent posted in a bit i thought id give a bit of a verbal update tank still sit beside the 90 no stand started.. i hope to rectify that soon. but work has been slow. anywho i have started the rock wall but have so predesign inhibitions. i keep looking at it unsure if its going to work or not. ultimately what i need to do is a water test of the plumbing before i continue to ease my mind but having a difficult time finding some plumbing parts i need. the whole idea of the rockwall it to make it not just a wall per say (rocks stuck on a wall) but a natural flow of edges shape and dimention. and right now i just dont feel creative..i really need to get out of this creative slump.. so thats where im at in stead of writters block i have reefers block.. purchased a few little things here and there mostly supplies...see what happens this week
