    todd the problem with that is its only reading level for the length of your phone. to properly see if the tank was level I would need one that is the length of the tank, but the water level told me that, so I didn't have to go out and get a longer level.

    Small freak out today. Got the tank full and running and then I realize there is water in between the glass and trim on the bottom. Lucky it was just a small drip from the bulkhead on the back of the tank. Realized both of them were leaking. Went and bought 2 new ones and threw them on and no more leaks. Not cool tank....not cool.

    Have to say I would've freaked out too. Glad it was an easy fix.

    Glad you caught that. I am worried that you talked to your tank and referred to it in the 3rd person. Cool DBO, very cool.;D;D;D

    It's looking great DB. It appears to be the perfect size for that room! That can always be a challenge with big tanks. Well done!

    Thanks Thor!

    Heres a quick pic of the rockwork, done with fiberglass rods and 2part epoxy. I don't think im gunna add anymore rock since I love how this looks so open. left island is a big swim through, middle island is a giant overhang that fish can hide in, and the right side I went for a shallow lagoon look.
    once I redo my led hanger ill post some more pics. let me know what you guys think!
    Sorry for the heaters in the tank lol still gotta move em to the sump
