    More updates.. I finally got my laptop charger and camera cord back so I can post pics..

    painted the back black and made some lights for the fuge.. they are in the tank so I can see thin spots in the paint..

    Finished silicone and drilled some holes in my sump.. The glass pieces I had cut were a little big, so instead of having them recut, I just glued them in a little crooked, no worries..

    Got my overflow set up and installed. Glass Holes overflow.

    mind telling me where you win something that nice for 5 bucks?

    I was just about to compliment you on it. Its great. I thought that you had modded some kitchen / bathroom cabinets as a stand.

    wherever did you score that?

    Thanks, I won it at a fish store in houston called Fish Gallery. Its quite an amazing place..

    Funny thing you said that, I actually almost did mod some kitchen cabinets to make a stand. My uncle has a stone company so I was going to buy some from lowes, and have him cut me a thick granite top and drill it for overflows.. It would have looked really nice..

    Thanks for the compliment!
