    Is this a record or something? Makes my build look like a snail.

    lol i think he had it written out prior but this is an amazing project. It took me two weeks to get water from an overflow box to a 10 gallon under my tank and back again! (i also did a fuge a little to the side as well but still) Did you build the original tank as well?

    Very nice build! Really looks like you have planed everything out quite well. I love seeing organized builds with plans lol. My only question though is that it appears that some of the top frame that the tank will be sitting on is supported by screws and not by the wood? Does the top frame sit on the vertical 2x4's or does it attach to them by screws? The front of the frame appears to sit on the vertical legs but the back look like they attach with screws? If they are supported by screws im not sure that I would trust it long term. Sorry if I'm wrong just would hate to see such a nice build crash down from weight bearing screws :)

    You are off to a great start! I love the custom sump. I am also impressed with your planning. Very well thought out, I am definitely going to subscribe to this thread. BTW are you living in Idaho or are you just a fan of my state? I live in Idaho Falls.
