    Thanks! I can't either. This guy makes my 55 gallon look so little.

    So what do you guys think for a back ground color? Blue or black? I'm thinking black this time around... I'll prolly paint my plumping black as well...

    I have done both and I like a dark blue, it just hides a bit more so you don't have to clean as much and I think it adds a bit of color.

    Also, what size do you guys think for the sump? I'm pretty sure my current one will be too small. I'm thinking around 40g? I'm also thinking of having my LFS that I would the cube from make it with black silicone as well.... Muwahahaha! ;D

    Yeah we will see. I can get my hands on a 40g breeder already sorted but its 36" in length I believe which is a bit wide to build the sump around, due to the tank being 30".
