    Sean, you did a really excellent job covering the overflow box with the BG. I like the draw of water from the bottom too. Should move the water behind the BG and yup, like the ray

    My situation a little easier I think since I have the built-in overflow with the acrylic bracing covering the area around the top of the overflow. I should be able to cut my height and then cut the area around the toothed edge of the overflow.

    Really like your tank. No fish yet.

    Robbie, that is Sean's tank, not mine. My tank is still sitting on the front porch but it is ready to come in. Worked a long day today and was unwilling to mess with it tonight.

    I was hoping to drill my tank but found out it was tempered glass so this was my next idea. I just used a hacksaw blade to cut mine made it very easy to cut. I haven't taken any pics of the tank with the fish in it. I have two that paired up and layings eggs they have had wigglers the last two batchs. I was very happy with the slimeline background from Designs By Nature.

    The only fry I will be raising is a baby in about a month. I would love to move them and try to raise some fry but with the wife pregnant and almost due I think it would be best to just wait.

    Zach lol, Silly thing is still sitting on the front porch. Working long days and at the end of the day there is not much left. On a high note it is ready to come into the house. I need to take down a 75 and move to the "fish room" before moving it into the house. The freezer is now in the garage leaving the space for the 75. This weekend is a three day weekend so plan to get a lot done.

    The tank will not start to be put together until I get back from Ga after the 12th.
