Changed the formula, eh? It's about time! I haven't heard that yet. Either way, I freakin hate that stuff!!! Makes me itchy.

I don't think I'll be routering anything other than maybe a 1/8" or 1/4" roundover, but I think I'll just hand sand the corners down just ato take the sharp off them. I'm going for a very square look. You guys will see soon enough...

Here's an idea for an overflow that you might consider. It's completely DIY.



I used a standpipe inside of the external overflow box. Inside of the tank I just have a strainer. The standpipe is ideal for adjusting your tank water level without making anything perminant.

Danny zubot: Thanks for posting that photo!!! I've been trying to figure out how to do an external overflow. That's perfect! How noisey is it?

I'll post a hint on Saturday after I go price hunting. I think it's gonna cost more than I want to spend though. So I'll either tell you what it was on Saturday if it's too expensive, or I'll drop a hint.
