    Sweet! My 65 is having a hole drilled so I can have my first internal overflow box. I'm pretty pumped about that. I'm slowly gathering materials for my upgrade in the meantime, including bigger PVC, more sand, ordered bigger Eheim pump, etc. The tank is a woodgrain, which I don't like, so the first thing I'll be doing when I get it is to paint the trim black.

    I'm hoping I can pick it up before the weekend. I won't be able to do much with it this weekend though as I have to photograph two weddings, so the bulk of the work will come next week.

    I upgraded my sump from a 10g to a 29g three weeks ago, and now my DT is going from a 30g to a 65g. My skimmer is rated 25-80g so I hope being a smidge over is not a big deal.

    I'll have some pics up as things get rolling.
