    LOL. I am sure there are other threads that are bigger and better than mine. Everyone elses tank has inspired me in one way or another.

    I finally fixed the leak in the fuge I was having. The only other problem was I was having a leak in the sump. Well I fixed that leak and two other leaks showed up. How that happened I dont know. Well I fixed those leaks so the sump is full at the operating level and has been holding up since for the past few days.

    The only other plan now is hopefully getting the main tank home this weekend. It has a center overflow which I am not fond of so I will somehow remove it and put a piece of acrylic over it and seal it to make a cal overflow with a bean animal overflow. I am still debating doing a closed loop. If I get the tank home I will build the top part of the stand and if I choose to do the closed loop, will drill the hole to where the boards will be placed.

    I ran out of wood to complete the columns so I will head to the HD to get the rest, styrofoam, paint, and wood planks.
