Not sure if anyone has seen this before but for those that like to draw out what they plan to do first...here is a great link on how to work on Aquariums within sketchup.

Hope people find it useful.

Very good write up! I have been working on my new sump design in Sketchup.
The biggest trick to Sketchup is to re-map the hotkeys, so you can select between your common tools with one hand, while keeping the other on the mouse! :mrgreen:
It's also very nice because you're actually drawing plans to scale. I just plain at drawing ideas on paper.. to scale.
Tip: With the tape measure you can use it to measure distances, or draw in measure guides. Select your tape measure, then press CTRL, and you will notice a + appear and disappear beside your tape measure.
