    That's why I used Paint to draft the layout of the preview picture. Like watching movie trailers....can't you just feel the excitement building.

    lol Ming I can say I'm pretty excited about seeing it, especially since I have to get rid of my 90 gal. project for now. Yours & Gary's tank projects are a couple good fixes to get me thru the winter till I can afford to do another 90 lol

    Any new tank setup is expensive. Especially just before the holidays and going abroad next week. Luckily I don't buy presents...except for myself.
