The fish in the picture is fat albert for the rtc, and lumpy the tsn. Just a few of the reasons for this tank.

See you guys in five days. It's been nice to have so much time to work on this project, but all good things must come to an end. Now maybe I can rest my elbows so that I can get to work again when I get back! Don't miss me too much.

Hey guys! I'm back today! Thanks for the comments while I was gone. I should be able to work on it some starting wensday. Tomorrow I give plasma for some more cash, and I also clean out an aquarium at a local casino for some cash for the first time. I just got their new filter in, and hopefully they will want to keep me around for a long time. Also might have another customer in the skeletal aspect. So alls going good so far. I need in my latest estimate $1000 to get this thing sealed, windows in, and lighting. Found some really good deals on tons of stuff. Might be ordering the lights soon. Maybe this week. Then I can install them for a sure fit before I add the final plywood. My price for all glass to include the top glass, and all the glass for the front is going to be $600. Here's a pic of the final design that I have settled on. I think it will answer a lot of questions and raise a few more.
