thanks angel....it consumed alot of weekends and late nights. I am just happy to get the whole thing out of my garage.

I was going to move my plants from my 55G into the 180G, but I have decided to order all new plants. Going to have quite a few different varieties in there.

I can only image...and here I was last year proud like heck building my first own 55g stand (w/out doors lol) that's real nice...but wayyy past my DIY league lol

Oh you have to update pic's when you get that planted I can only imagine how beautiful that'll be *drool*

And you glued & cut all that glass to didn't you?

i didnt make the tank.....but it was custom made for someone else. i got it off craigs, the glass is 1/2" thick and nice and clear. if i told you what i paid for it you wouldnt believe me.

i may place my plant order this weekend, i will have to see how i feel.
stay tuned for more pics.
