Well here I go, after much grovelling to the wife I got my 75g. I got our 3 boys in on the act and she caved. Had to go it cheap so I found a decent 75 Oceanic on craigs list with stand for $150.
The tank needed some work so I have recaulked it and cleaned it up a bit. I used 100% Silicon water proof marine caulk from DEP. You can get this at ACE Hardware.
I am now starting to build a custom lid which I designed myself after doing some shopping around. I have attached my plans. since I am a techy I used microsoft visio to design saved in PDF format.
I plan to keep a journal of my progress, this being Day 1. Got to start somewhere. Poor quality pic of tank attached as well.
Thus far I have purchased these lights for $98
Odyssea T5 Aquarium Lighting
Still shopping for filters that give me some growth, flexibility, and uses standard media. Any suggestions without breaking the bank.
