Just drain the tank and sump, don't be stupid and try and install legs with it full. It'll only take an hour tops.

If you go with screw in legs, get some T-Nuts .. drill a hole, hammer/glue them in.

Just went to Big Als and bought a glass lid with a hinge... the only sucky part is that the back 1/3 of it is plastic so you can cut out for all your cords and such... and I don't have anything to cut out for... except... possibly on the right hand side where the inputs come in, so hopefully it'll fit length wise??

Why are you running a lid at all? Plan on keeping jumpers?

Wes likes jumpers

Probably just to cut back on evaporation. Wes is that plastic part blocking your light? Why not just replace one of the pieces of glass with a larger piece so you don't need the plastic?
