I did modified the overflow a bit but I think I need to do a bit more to lower the over flow level. One thing I did do is change the durso over to herbie, what a difference that made. ULTRA QUIET. I would recommend any of you who is starting a new tank to use herbie.

As far as skinning the tank, I will give it an honest attempt this weekend, we will see how it will turn out! I want to pick up a couple of sheets of oak or maple. I was thinking to use magnets and counter sink them into the each panel, so it will hold them to the metal stand. I want to split the front into 2 separate pieces in the front and 1 piece on either end and leave the back open. just incase I mess it up, I have a guy who did my stand for the 210 will come over and help me with it.

Look at Birch as well, very nice smooth wood grain, stains nicely and is a little cheaper then Oak or Maple. That is unles you have a connection at the lumber store for a sweet discount
