I really need to do more work on the tank lol. Now that its running I cant stop looking at it to do the work. Theres probably about 30-40 fish in there now too. Havent lost a fish yet either...except for the yellow lab that went over the overflow and onto the drip plate.

Yeah it was probably partly my fault. I had to cut the teeth on the overflows and I had not put the egg crate up yet. So the gaps were a little bigger and he got to close. Most of the fish are too big to worry about it now. Actually my bushy nose plecos swim into the overflows since they are full over water and probably lush with algae. They then swim back upstream like trout back into the tank. I have seen this...and heard it for a long time before i knew what that sound was.
