What does cleaning with newsprint do? Wouldn't have guessed that was a "trick". Neat.

I have a 40g you made a couple years ago, 24x24x12 and the overflow is made out of 1/8" ! But it's internal though, I was pretty unsure of it at first but it seems to hold up.

Nice progress so far, everything look is looking good.

Well I am just checking in on the thread dez.

I do have the constant desier to set up a tank but just a lack of time. My Nitro powered
helicopters keep me busy

I do enjoy watching your thread progress so keep up the good work.

Hey Tony....I'm glad it's holding out. With internal overflows there isn't any pressure, it's equalized as long as the overflow box is fairly full (that's my theory at least)...I'm just glad it hasn't exploded and there's no lawsuit against me

Tony, I think newsprint doesn't leave any cloth residue if you're using a rag. My parents always asked me to clean the windows with windex and newspaper, that way it didn't leave streaks. Try it sometime!
