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!
