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.
