    I just caught wind of this thread and I believe congrats are in order. Great size and yes, the only down side to this particular tank is that its high. I hate having to bust out the step stool to reach the bottom. Did yours come with a mega-flow over-flow?

    Thanks for the congrats! I am beyond excited.

    About the overflow, no it didn't come with a mega-flow overflow...though I wish it did...I bought an overflow box from Eshoppes. And yes, but the problem with the step stool is that I can reach down, but I can't see what I'm doing! I need to be able to see through the front. haha Maybe I should just try to grow. ;)

    If your 90 isnt set up yet, you can always drill it.

    Yeah....thought about that, but seems like a hassle. I'm happy with my box! Knock on wood.

    Good luck with the box, What size tank are you putting underneath for the sump/fuge? You could always adjust the stands height unless you purchased a stand with it, I can reach the bottom of my 120 with no stand :D... Unless in the back corner by the wall lol!

    Oh well, the day that you exp. a drilled tank with a built-in overflow, is the day that you will never look back. That didnt come out the way I wanted. Let me put it a way that a woman can understand. Its like finding the perfect eye liner after you have gone through them all.;)

    I think that the money that you spent on that over flow box from Eshoppes, you could have gotten your tank drilled and the built-in overflow installed. Anyways, enjoy your new adventure and dont forget the pics.

    I'm thinking about doing 30 gallons. I bought a stand with it, so I don't want to start messing around with it! It would probably end in disaster.

    And yes, look at you reaching the bottom of your tank! Aren't you special. ;) You're probably taller than me, so that helps a lil' bit!
