Omg that is insane! Sooo cool! With the schematics and everything! I am glad it worked! :) That is definately inspiring to me lol
 
I really really like that aquascaping as well! Not just a pile of rocks in the middle. It is stunning. You have a very nice camera too btw. Are you an engineer? Love the rimless idea as well!
