Small update:
Not much done but I did get out a little more of the seams and made a call to rich at aquart aquariums for some very useful info.
I also think I have my sump pretty well planned now and should start on that as soon as I sell the rest of my stock of angels.
It's going to consist of 4 7"x16" filter socks, a 3ft long x 22" tall wet/dry bio chamber, and the remaining will be a sump return area so evap won't have to be taken care of everyday, more like one a week or so.
