well I just ordered my 180 gallon tank. and I am very excited to get it. I ordered it through my LFS and it will get there Wednesday so I have to build a stand. I am going to get some wood later today to build the stand and I will have it done tonight so I will take some pictures along the way :)
 
here is what I have done so far. obviously is it not done. I thought I had enough screws in the shed but I thought wrong so I need to pick up more screws tomorrow and I will finish up the stand.

How large are your Orange Head Geos? I got some about an inch long 6 months ago or so, hardly grown at all. Did you find the same thing?

if you check the link in my thread I recorded their growth so far. but I have had mine for about a year and they aren't that big probably 3.5-4" defiantly slow growers.
