Took me long enough (due to work schedule and family time :D)

It was H E L L getting in a 5' tank under my Stand but I finally got it in:headbang2. I had to remove 2 of the 1.5"WX8"LX30.5"H legs in the back of the stand (6 legs held up the back of the tank as it was half full).

Then the pain to get it in.... it literally just squeezed in:irked:.

NOW TO FILL HER UP WITH MORE MEDIA :naughty::naughty::naughty:cause this thing is frigging LOUD:irked::cry::irked::cry:

Right now there is about 40lbs of Ceramic Rings under the BioBalls. Was going to do more but the egg crate is does not like that much weight... so I need Bio Balls and maybe will go the Scrubbies route

Here are some pics...

Drip Plate is 30" long X 17" wide... tight squeeze
