Thanks!

I'm using Google Sketchup. I took a couple of 20 minute tutorials on it last year (free on Google). It is really easy to use. That rendering took me about 5 minutes. If you need help making a rendering, let me know.

While I'm sitting on my butt at home, Dave is crating my tank at 8pm! Should be here soon.

Also, getting the tank built in Calgary by Concepts and shipped to Vancouver was literally half the price that I was being quoted in Vancouver.

Things got delayed again. I just noticed the blue ABS background isn't really attached to the back glass anymore, so I'll need to fix that. It should be an easy fix, but silicone takes a couple of days to dry/cure (whatever you call it!).

Dave/Concepts is sending me a brand new background shortly. Gotta love when LFS's back up their products with great service. Thank you!
