    Now I gotta flip the tank sideways and silicone the overflow boxes back on. Hopefully i can get that done in the next week or so.

    I think I'm gunna try to build onto the stand on the right side with a counter top on it for testing ect... Gotta make sure I can get a door to match and make it look like one peice instead of something that was added on.
