I have to tear apart my basement suite today anyway so I will have tools out.

Thanks for the offer again but I should be fine. Have a great time in Mexico and have a margarita on the beach for me

The external overflow is nice in a way but it also means the tank eats up an additional 6 inches of my livingroom. I was originally planning on a 36" wide tank but after we moved in I realized with the overflow in as well...well the wife would have started asking questions =)

Yes...I actually never really thought of that.

One of the nice things about this tank is that it can be right up against the wall. Well about 3/4" from the wall because of the conduit for the light "arms".

thanks I will! The shims will hold indefinetly. I shim up entire 6 plexes 2 or more inches in the air (to compensate for bad concrete finishers) The shims are fine. They compress quite a bit but you have to think of the weight of a 3 story 6 plex. After I build the building, crews come in and grout under the walls to permenently support it. (just because if I don't say it some one will make a comment)

Ok, thanks. That certainly makes me feel better about the whole thing. Since this is not a huge leveling job, I am going to use them.
