Ultimately I would love to have LEDs on the big tank. Kevin watches out for advances in them, and there is a couple threads on RC I follow about people making their own DIY fixtures.

I want my tank in the house for December. I want it to be our Christmas/Yule/Stuck inside/Just 'Cause gift this year. We have some stuff we need to do this summer, but things look much better then in March when that whole recession thing caught up to us, which sucked, a lot. We need to hammer out a work schedule, and an amended to do list, but otherwise we're back in business.

The containers we're hoping to pick up are going to be coming from Calgary Plastic Container Supply Ltd. We're going to pick up one? or two? horizontal leg tanks for mixing.

I also really want this; a Remote Display that Digital Aquatics released recently. I have no use for it now, but I will once Tibet is up and running, one display in the fishroom, and one outside of it.

I'm looking for a place that will rent you those big disposal bins for renovations. The ones were you can get it for say a weekend or week, then have the company haul the trash away for you.

Anyone have any recommendations? So far everyone I've called has a prohibitive price of $350+. I can keep doing trips with our truck, but its time consuming, and we're slow so we can only make maybe 3 trips per day. I'm holding on blowing out some remaining walls/structures until we can figure this out.

Current, no, but semi-recent yes.

This was shot a few days, maybe a week, after being put online. This thing is a beast! Can't seem to find the embed option from YouTube, but here is the link.

The quality has degraded significantly, sorry!
