No guarantees though as I'm not sure what my wife will think of me deserting the "event" to go oogle your new fish tank (is oogle a real word?)
Hey Mark,

He he! I think that this will have to do me for a while. Can't just sit and gawk at my tanks all day need to do other stuff.

You are very welcome anytime you know and bring them too! Would love to see your daughter.

Congrats to the Uncle.

Funny that is exactly what I was thinking.

Okay so we all know that threads without pics just aren't as fun. So...since I am just going to get started on building the house, I figured a few pics of where we're going to put the house were in order.

Here's a shot of my wife (about 4 months pregnant) and I shortly after we bought the lot a few years ago. (yeah, it's really taken me that long to put this together)



And here's what I'll be looking at whenever I find time to turn away from the tank.



So now there are pics.

Okay so I have a question for those of you with external overflows. I rarely see any lower support on the overflow (like triangular supports), but it strikes me that the overflow holds a lot of water...sometimes 7-12 gallons and when I do the math on the weight of that...I get nervous.
Has anyone had issues with this? Have you seen some that have been built with supports?
When I got my first tank quote from Aquarium Obsessed they found humour in my worry about the overflows but they included the supports in the price because I asked for it.
