I will be calling the glass company this weekend to get prices of pieces of glass. I am going to finally make some lids for this thing.
I will also be looking at changing out the drain lines as I would like the water level to be a bit higher.
It took forever to fill it as I was using the auto water changer to fill up the system as I randomly turned the valve to let water in. I guess I was just too lazy to get the hose and add prime.
I'm happy with the turnout. I'm glad I went forward with the stand change. Its much easier to get into the tank now.

It was actually really sturdy. I was planing on adding an additional shelf to hold some hospital tanks, but plans changed and the hospital tanks are on top of the rack now. I worked out a trade on the 180 and was left over with a pretty nice stand. So I figured I would switch it over and get a better look with some added storage space.
Nope....... It is a huge roll of filter media!!
