    This hole is located outside the overflows and will be plumbed to my drain to make water changes easier. To get a sense of scale, check out the quarter that one of the crew dropped in there. The plastic pieces are edging for the front corners of the tank that the manufacturer sent along in case I wanted to add them but the tank looks really good without them on.

    We waited till the tank was here before we cut holes in the stand for the overflows, returns, and drain.

    What a build thread. . . .

    This is going to be very nice. Keep the pics coming. Even the ones you think are insignificant. We all love pics here. Heck, I'd take a pic of your floor if you want to throw it in!
