Ha ha!! I can only imagine! That's one reason why I get all my tank stuff ready-made ... known my DIY skills, or lack thereof, I'll end up cracking the acrylic and end up spending more money and effort than simply buying the setup pre-made.

Though, I guess once you're done, you're gonna feel like your on top of the world ... I mean this whole, ENTIRE setup will be like you baby! Kinda cool when you look at it knowing that every bit of it has been your doing!

Keep it up mate!

Have to admit, i am really surprised at how well its all turning out now..There is only so long you can keep looking at it on paper, checking, checking, checking and trying to imagine exactly what it's going to look like when its all together....

Am really happy with how its turning out so far...

Thanks for the comments buddy
