This is the finished project. I have other pictures to upload, but my phone is not cooperating right now. Also, I am turning the 30G into the sump tank for this so i will post those pics along the way.

Awesome tank dude. I love the 72G Bowfronts.

One thing though, if i may make a suggestion.

Instead of having the wires to your light fixture hanging over the tank like such, you could use zip ties and run them up the chains that the fixture hangs from.. and then run the rest of the wire down the leg of the hanging apparatus. It would make for a cleaner look.. and may make it easier for you to get in to the tank.

Just a thought..

That is a good suggestion, I will do that. I like the cleaner look too. Thanks
