Well, like i figured we ran into our first problem. We had a leak in the back of the tank that dripped 1 drop per 7 hours about and it toulk 6 days to find out. thats not the problem though, all we have to do for that is put some silicone on the back of the tank and a lil on the inside and we are done. But, if i install my 2" bulkheads i will have about 200gallons of water in the tank. We put the bulkhead up to the tank and figured where the water level will be and it turned out like this.
edit: we forgot to silicone the corner thats why...

Heh, agreed it looks nice. Im a big fan of black though and wish he woulda painted it black but he said no.
I figured out the bulkhead problem, we are just gona put elbows on it.
Now before we drill i gota find a pump witha uv sterlizer that pushes around 4kgph

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAh!!! a LEAK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
just kiddin, im sure you can handle it milky. most UV sterilizers dont have a built in pump (some do tho) so buy them seperate. i would do a closed loop system(think bio-tower design with a UV instead of a tower) if i were you. lookin great tho, keep pushing the back background too, it will look awesome.
The background im gona leave blank because I cant find a large enough black background. Also I'm gona try and find those large river rocks and have some of those, or i will have that black to. But no way in He*l am i using sand.

the silicone wont hold on acrylic like it does with glass
it peels off over time (less than afew years)

Try this man.
Your local arts and crafts store should stock rolls of black paper that they will cut for you if you tell them the size you need to cover the back of your tank.
You can get it for super cheap, then just tape it to the back and once the old man sees how cool it looks he'll be like "hell yeah, let's do a black background !"
