I hate to say this but.... life's what happens when you're making other plans

Sorry dude, just speaking from experience

Yes, I agree, but I had to set a date to try to get everyone here to install the glass. As for the "life's what happens" bit, I agree, but I also don't have any monsters in a 20gal long that I'm trying to build this for either I'm waiting til the tank is done to start buying big fish.

I couldn't agree more. I've been getting a little frustrated because I want to fill this thing and get fish in there, and I expressed that to my wife. She (God bless her) said, "isn't the project and building this part of the fun?". You and her are right on. She eased my mind initially, but you've reinforced that. I'm having a blast building this thing. It's the most substantial thing I've ever built. It's going great, and I'll get it filled eventually. Thanks for your thoughts.
