    Here are a few pictures of my new tank. This is going to replace my 50 gallon that has already been sold. The tank was purchased at Preuss Pets in Lansing, Mi. It is a 36 X 36 X 27 in Deep Dimension Corner-Flo Aquarium by Marineland which I had it order with the corner overflow moved to the center and increased the drain for a 1.5 inch bulk head. The stand my uncle built out of Hemlock. Should have stain on it my this weekend and than need to lay some tile down in my family room where it is going to sit.

    Very nice!! Keep 'em coming!

    How will you be plumbing your return? I only see one hole in the overflow chamber.

    I bet the return is still there, but he said he increased the size of the drain. Do the holes in all the tanks run the same size?

    That tank is going to be beautiful! I wish I could learn that kind of craftsmanship, I got excited yesterday when I wired up a computer fan to my tank:laugh3:

    can't wait to see it up and running? Are you going to hook it up to the set up in the basement like you have your 50gal now?
