    Hey all. I just wanted to show off my new tank, and see what everyone thinks. I started with a 10gal tank and had two pieces of glass cut at the glass shop and I drilled a hole for the return pump, pump is a power head, and cut slots for over flow also. I used the cut glass to partition off the end of the tank to make a fuge and pump section. Here are some pics.
    This is the tank 03-27-08.

    I saw some builds of other tanks like this smaller and bigger, and just had to build one myself. It works out really well especially if you do not have room for a sump. And I was having tank build withdraws, so here we are. And thanks for nice replys.
