So I saved money for the petco gallon sale. I bought a stand as we'll for $100 and a 10gal sump.

For all you wondering I was able to drill holes into my 29gal back wall of tank. I drilled 2 ImageUploadedByAquarium Advice1404245357.108268.jpgImageUploadedByAquarium Advice1404245370.107188.jpg

I have to build my overflow now and plumb the system. I'll be out of town for the 4th so my build will be put on hold!

Here is some progress on my
Build thread. The local glass store had tinted glass. So I built my overflow with that. $10 for 2 pieces.

I also have it siliconed in and the back painted black.

Still, things look really clean and smooth so far. I wish I had the ability to have my return like that.


Yeah I don't know how it worked! Magic haha! I will have this tank up and running by the end of next week!

I finished up the tank today. All the plumbing isn't leaking. I need a bigger pump though.
