    Looking real nice. One thing to consider is the window there, albeit on the side, it may be an algae producer. I have that black back drop (used for the back of the tank) on the side of mine, for a different reason but that will block the sun.

    Very good observation! The left side of your tank will become an algae haven. This is not a good thing. I would either try a window shade or put a heavy tint on the window and see how that works. If it doesn't than try the same tint on the left side of the tank and then as a last resort put the black background on there. The other thing is the water temperature might get high so keep an eye on that. I can see your a good carpenter. That was my trade. Good luck and keep the pics coming!

    Thanks and good observation everybody I am planning on putting a good looking curtain that will block the light. My house is under construction and that window will become a hallway so it wont be a problem. but for now I will put a curtain.
    It is a 120
    What's the difference between et regular 120 and 120 deep?
