ok, first off, from what i've seen, my tank doesn't look as good as basically everyone elses. i don't know how you guys do it. it's not completely finished, i'm gonna get sand and probably make my own rock soon. the sump isn't fished, either. well let me tell you my story about how i got to this setup.
i first decided to drill a hole in the tank. i picked up a ten gallon from walmart $10. bad idea. i read somewhere that untempered glass has a green edge, well i guess so does tempered. it just exploded. fun... then i spent the next couple of days cleaning the other pieces and had to get a pieces of glass drilled. finally i got it glued and have no leaks. it was my first time so the silicon job isn't very good. i have one question though... do you think i need more waterflow? right now it is coming back through a hole in the glass. i will get a ball/socket "Y" with some flexible tubing, but it doesn't seem like it would be enough. thanks. i hope my story wasn't to boring.
