you got that right !!I just joined this forum, then saw this thread.......HOLY COW! I love it. I look forward to seeing the rest of your project come together. Very inspiring!
Really awesome, I thought my 150G was big.............Well, great job. Good luck, "Get R Done!"
Well...... I put the gravel in, and 200 gallons of water in today. BAD NEWS! 
It leaked! It doesn't look like a big problem to fix. The only thing is it will be time consuming because I have to get all the water out of the area it leaked from. It is a small area near the bottom corner of the window. I believe It will set me back about a week with the repair and cure time. I did take some pics of filling the tank with water and gravel, but left the camera at the office. Post them in a few days.

try a wet/dry vacuum....it helps
I'm still working on the tank. I have figured out a solution to the leak. I am going to test it first on some other materials. If it works, and I am sure it will. I will post pics of the work. I know it's a small problem, but I believe in being sure of the process.
