Well...just got back to work after a extended lunch early lunch 
I got the fish about 10 and went home and now I have some fish in the tank!!! They are all eating already and all are in good looking shape. One yellow lab looks like its fins are clamped a little and its not swimming as much as the others and not next to them as much. It is still eating good...but it shakes a little and scratched some. So it might have something...but I dont want to put meds since I just added all that safestart too. So I will let it ride for at least 48 hrs before I use meds. I tested the water and everything is 0 so we will see how the safestart does. I added 4 bottles.
On a bad note...I was about to leave to head back to work and I noticed one of my xp3's was leaking out of where the power cords goes into the head. There was a rather large puddle of water in half the sand with all the power cords and stuff. I havent mounted them yet but will soon now. The canister is brand new but I got it a few months ago in preparation from petsmart. I might go talk to them....but I dont feel safe...might buy some different canisters now.
I'll post pics later...I will have to learn how to get good shots with my Nikon D90.

Cant wait to see pics of it with the fish. You did an excellent job with the plumbing and the filters.Im planning on getting a 180gal from glasscages by the end of the summer and might just have to copy your filters.
AGAIN JUST A GREAT LOOKING TANK!!!!!!!!!!!!

That sucks about the XP3, I have been using them for a couple of years now and I have never had a problem with one of them. Hopefully you can get this one fixed or warranteed. If so give it another chance, it will most likely be worth it.
What air bubbles are you talking about in the useless corner?

I too had one for a while with no problems...its just odd where its leaking from.
The air bubble in the left and right corners on side of the overflow. I say they are useless because the water flow is blocked there and it tends to trap the poo at least in my bro n laws tank. I like the look of it too on the edges...
Thanks, just went back a few pages and checked it out. I like how you did the air bubbles in those areas. It looks really nice.
