Leave the option open. The back wall will get covered in coraline if you don't clean it anyway.

If you have access to a mitre saw, I have found that to be the easiest way to cut lengths of PVC using a standard rip/cross-cut blade.
As far as the background is concerned, I use black plastic posterboard slipped between the upper and lower frames of the tank. No mess and much easier to remove than paint.

Yeah I hooked up the pump when I got it for a test and its way quieter than I thought. Once its in the stand it should barely be heard...

I want to build some rock columns using rods and drilling the LR. What do you guys recommend I use for the rods and where did you get them? I want something not too thick. Im not really interested in using PVC either.
I will post some updated pics of this project soon. I have finished off the stand and canopy besides the doors which will be attached with magnets to keep things really easy. Its all primed and ready for paint which will be done tonight! The stand and canopy will be white, which I do not see too often with aquariums. Really works well in our living room. I have also finished wiring and mounting the lights and man they are BRIGHT! Im super impressed so far with the T5's. Much nicer coverage than halides and way less watts. VERY nice coloring with the Giesemann daylight and actinic bulbs.
