    Its one of those things that if it was meant to be, it was. Plus for a few hundred more I can get it built, it finally became a no brainer. Its will be in the June/July timeframe. I have a daughter graduating high school and getting ready for college so thats priority for the time being. As for the new tank, same dimensions, maybe. I am trying to find out if it is possible to get a 10 ft. sheet of acrylic. I did some figuring and i can squeeze a couple feet on the build. Just depends on the price.


    No problem. You have text message.

    I got some things for the build. Will use them on my present tank for testing purposes.

    Wish they sent the batteries with them. I will have them up and running soon.

    not much and inch or two will be more than fine. I would, however, leave the rock in the sand until it is drained (pulling the bottom pieces of rock can knock up alot of 'gunk' )

    I know right. This will be the last upgrade. When I did my calculations this build with all the constraints is within my budget with money to spare unless I win the lottery then you know the rest.
