Pretty awesome little tank. I'm thinking I need to make some DIY live rock to fill it up with. The glass that they made it out of was WAY thicker than I thought it would be(this is a good thing).I had the front made of Starphire. Tomorrow after work I need to pick up some pipe thread compound and a piece of 1" pvc. If anyone needs some 1" pvc let me know as I should have about 9 feet left after what I need .Pick up only LOL. I am going to paint the bottom of the tank white and the back probably light blue. I am open to other color suggestions for the back.

Our camera is in getting fixed but I will try to get the wife to let me borrow her phone for some pics after the plumbing and painting are done.

Glenn if you need any plumbing parts I have a box of leftover parts and flex hose. The only 1" PVC I have is about 2' long but there is a bunch of other stuff. Let me know what you need and I'll take a look through it.

Dang I just bought a 10 foot length from HD. ohh well it was only $5. But for Albert I'll give him the left over for $20

Got the tank plumbing done now and the back and bottom painted. I had to go with a darker blue than I originally wanted to but it was the closest I could get. Krylon Fusion $6.97 @ wallyworld. White on the bottom and Blue on the back.

Next is to cut out the top to fit the plumbing and then attaching it to the 2x4 framework. I will hang the 175W MH light from a telescoping tube that will attach to the back of the stand.
