So the 200 was filled up todady, and it holds water! lol. I've been secretely working on it when no one's looking. lol. I'm gonna let it sit for about a week or so and see what happens. No leaks at all so far. Glass looks good and so does the silicone. No bowing at all it appears. I'll have to get some pics up for you guys to look at. I'll have to borrow my neighbor's cord again. Just got a couple of normal colored channel catfish to go in the big tank eventually. No progress to report on the big tank. I'm planning on taking some time off of work around my birthday so that I can work on this thing for like a week straight. Just thought that I would give you guys a lil update!~

Better before the birthday than after right :) I might have a present for you in the coming months. It appears my Lima shovelnose is not getting along nicely. Want him ? He is about 14"
