    Well my 60G is running nicely so as is the nature of all of us... I'm planning my next upgrade (I started with a ten G freshwater :p)

    Somewhere in teh next summer months I want to tear down the setup I have now and move it ten feet to the left, and that's the perfect moment to change tanks, isn't it? And so I have been filling my evenings, and hours on hold doodling, designing, redesigning, adapting and changing tanks and sumps on every bit of paper I could find.
    So here's where you guys come in !
    For all of you with too much time and an unhealthy love for google sketchup : Help me Design my tank !
    The outset :
    The display will be a 200x50x60 (centimeters) ( 79x20x24 in inches), long side against the wall, left side also against a foot of wall.
    The sump COULD be my current tank 140x40x50 (55x16x20)
    I want a full lenght overflow, and I doubt the short side of teh tank would be enough ?
    Since its against the wall, and there's no room to move forward, the overflows/returns should go through the bottom.
    Height of stand will be 35-36 inch.
    So if any of you are in need of something to break the tedium of life and are in the mood for drawing... let rip :D
