Did you have to reinforce the beams under that room? It doesn't look like that is your basement. Beautiful tank!

Thanks fellas!
Amazon theme is exactly my thought. I have some huge pieces of driftwood in there along with rocks and a ton of plants.
As far as reinforcing, no need as it's on a concrete slab.

I cut them at 45 degree angles and siliconed them that way. Thankfully this was the flat back style so it was rather simple to do. The most difficult part was cutting the slits for the overflows, took forever and very tedious.
One thing I would recommend for you thinking of doing this is ***don't paint silicone with acrylic paint as it won't adhere permanently*** I filled in the gaps with silicone and pond foam and although the acrylic paint bonds nicely to the foam, the silicone is a no go and now I see a hideous black seam - driving me crazy
It held up for a few days, then the feeder fish I'm using to cycle the tank developed a taste for this paint...
So I figured I would post a video of the tank set up with a few fish in it (many more to come).
I hope you like the set up: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O5pFgqCrhX0&feature=youtube_gdata_player
