thanks for the comments guys, doug it may not be down hill but it will be empty wallet for the next while till its all running

well tehn i guess my phone doesnt tell me when i get a bunch of replies to my new thread haha.

but any ways. john had texted me today while i was at work and he was hounding me to get this thing full of water and what not. it is going to be a lil while before it is all up and running, as i still have a bunch of work to do to it. i took out the 50lb piece of marble that was used as the over flow and i will be replacing it with glass and a piece of black acrylic for a cleaner look.

and i also want to euro brace it all around because i will be using 2x 36" fixtures, probably 8 buld or if i find a good deal ill get two 6 bulb 36"s

as for right now i have my 65 set up running all my rock that i have laying around minus the bunch that i have over at the grizz in a rubbermaid, so atleast i wont have to cure much if any.

HEY WAIT A MINUTE THERE YOUNGSTER!! I had to build a stand, a sump, drill new hole's, build a closed loop and all new plumbing. I thought I did very well and not as long as some of the other on here.

Terry has a good start on this tank coming from John, should not have to change to much. So with that said get with it Terry

Should not have to change much? Greg, come on man, this is Terry we are talking about! By the time he is done doing every little "improvement" the tank will be a traingle shaped tank that gets a water change everytime the toilet in the bathroom flushes and with a triple tank sump underneath!
