    i got the same tank but the top will be cut off so its 22" high, getting rid of those corner overflows and putting in a c2c, and drilling holes on the back pane for everything and not using the holes on the bottom.

    You're going to cut the whole tank or just the panel with the C2C? I don't have the guts to cut this tank so kudos to you.

    Either way it's a positive! No losers in that game...

    Small update. Ordered the Reeflo pump, 2" bulkhead, Cepex ball valve (pump throttle), 1" insulating pad to go under the pump and some uni-seals (for the fresh/salt water station). Should have it all by week-end. Should get some time on Sunday to finish mocking up the plumbing. Will also be rebuilding the dursos so ill be going back the hardware store. I think I may just start having my mail forwarded there from now on. I still need to patch the sump's current hole from the previous owner's external Mag9.5 and then it'll be ready for some PVC cement, Teflon tape and a bunch of water.

    Not to wanting to continue the off topic talk, but just pointing out that it would actually be a HUGE person, with a comparatively small chest...more like someone needing a Bro :p

    Anyways, carry on with the awesome build. I have been following along and will continue to do so!

    I'm pretty much on hold for now until the pump, skimmer and the remainder of plumbing arrive. Only thing I can really do right now is redo the standpipes and finish up the water storage stand. My bank account is probably glad about that.
