Thanks guys. The tank is going great. I had a little mishap changing water a few weeks ago. Left it running and overflowed for about 30 mins. Good thing the tank is in the basement. lol

I just read this whole thread. Amazing, thanks for all the replies to everyones questions. I have read a few things about drip systems and I think you would just have to incorporate an overflow from the sump to the drain system in the floor. The extra water from the drip should exit there, not from the tank itself. I'm also planning a build similar to yours except I will be attempting two side windows, with plywood only for the bottom, back and top. Do you think that would be pushing it? Mine will only be 24" high with 1/2" acryllic or 3/8" glass.

Anyway, congratulations on your build.
You should be fine. I'd personally go for glass. Its cheaper and no bowing.

Wow looks amazing! What kind of web cam?

I think your fish are all big enough that you can add a ray now! ;)

Thanks, just a MS Life cam.

Can't have rays. I've got too many rocks. However I'm thinking about adding some tiny fish as clean up crews. So far two rosys have survived 3 weeks. They eat all the bits of scrap and are always stuffed. I'm thinking some River Loaches for the algae and neons for a splash of color.

Thanks. My stock are all chosen for the Tigers and Armies. The other fish are just dithers or clean up crews. lol I find the SD are good dithers because they're so round they block the sight of other fish. :ROFL:
