I will keep everyone up to date when i start but i live in ohio and the bricks are burried by a blizzard that just went through so it might be awhile yet.
Well i decided to change out my whole tank. I went with a sand bottom. My grandfather also had theese nice quickcrete bricks instead of regular bricks and i think they worked out alot better. Here are some pics, the first ones are how my tank looked before.
