    Thanks! The 20g long has worked out great so far. I can fit all my equiptment in with ease and still have a little room to spare.

    Ali, that is the BM100. Very similar to the 150 just an older model. It started pulling crap the day I set it up. I have a 2.5g water jug for the overflow line.

    I got a ball of Chaeto today. Now I am off to RC to get some more macro's and some mangroves from John!

    looks great! How wide did you have your baffles cut.....I went to lowes the other day and asked the dude to cut mine at 11 7/8"...they were a bit too long! Also what size glass did you use? the thickest glass lowes has is 2.5 mm....is this ok?

    I used Lexan panels in my setup. Glass is fine as well. This is a very debatable subject. My baffles were right about 11 7/8 and I was fine.
