tank looks good...must be nice to be able to keep it practically outdoors (we can't do that here in michigan, haha)! make sure to keep extra weight on those glass tops OR tape down the corners. those Cubans (and likely the bichirs) are strong enough to push those open and jump out with few problems. i have an extra strip light and a deconstructed iron bed frame weighting down the top of my big gar tank (used to use large rocks as weights but one managed to push that off as well).--

yes it is so much more convenient! noted, the covers are pretty heavy, didn't think they'd be able to get through. i'd really love to see some new pics of the gar den II
