You've got an interesting stadium rim on your tank. Can't say I've ever seen that before.

Its a Fluval tank design. I kind of liked the full silver trim. Its different and looks pretty good. A very nice looking tank overall and on at half price. Well for them.

I think in the long run I still should have had Concepts just build me one.

Because it was predrilled on the bottom, my overflow is on the viewing side, instead of the inside wall side. And as Eli said, sloppy work, but as I said, functional. It would be nice to have an external on that far end, facing the wall the pipes are running through.

Hmm, still time I guess.

Something for you to think about...not trying to make you spend more money or that...

My main tank overflow box is on the one side right in The middle as it gave me about 8inches on both sides of it and it bothers me at the beginning (less room for swimming and really hated viewing the overflow box)from a guy that likes to cover all the back and sides with rock work...
It bothered me so much over the years that at last decided instead of fixing the tank by moving the overflow box....just build another tank to my specification

Trying to tell if anything is bothering you now about your tank. .then fix it otherwise it will haunt you later on...

Only way to fix it, is to have a new one built to fit the stand. I dont think I can cut the glass and do an external on this model. But you're correct. Its bothering me where it is and that the only orientation for the tank in the living room.

Maybe I better call Denny..

So Jeff finishes second on X factor to some karaoke singers, so I made myself feel better by spending a pile more money on my tank....

Surprise...
