Fish's new tank project

[Fish]

Well, I re-thought things and decided that having my return plumbing go right through the back wall posed a risk of overflowing my sump. Even with a syphon break, the water pressure in the tank would still drain a fair amount of water.

Because my return plumbing is now going up and over the back wall, there wasn't really a benefit to closing it all in the way that I had originally planned.

Here are some sketches I did:

















I plan on having black acrylic on the back wall to prevent the overflow and plumbing from being visible.

Well, I have been playing around more and learning more features of the program and came up with this:

















All of those pictures are to-scale of the actual measurements.

These sketches are still using MSPaint??? Or have you started using something else?

Looks like Google SketchUp to me.

Midknight's right. I just downloaded sketchup yesterday after Albert told me about it.
It... is... awesome! (and free)
I know that Google is taking over the internet (and maybe even the Earth), but I don't even mind.

Looking great Chad! Comming along very nicely and quickly! I cant remember if you mentioned whether or not you gave that pump a finishing pass with something lighter?
