More pics. I got the back painted. I forgot to mention that the tank is drilled and has a huge patch over it. Any ideas on how to hide it? Its a real eye sore. I think I'm going to go bare bottom with the white bristol board under the tank, I like how it looks.
p.s ignore the dirty glass

well you could take the patch off use a overflow. or use a smaller patch. just food for thought
 
I've thought about that but how would I even take it off? The previous owners went way overkill and its an 8"x8" square(the hole is 2"), and nearly the entire patch is plastered with silicone. I would need a really long razor.

I don't really want to mess around with a sump right now but I do have a 1300gph pump and some scrap acrylic....

i use a 20lb fishing line as a saw
 
I would just put a HOB filter in the corner then it might be able to cover the area and hide it pretty well.
 
I decided to just leave the patch, I'm gonna hide it with air stones and floating plants. The tank is up and running with the ac70 which I seeded from my other tank. I still need to get another filter (probably ac110 or fluval 403). Anywho, I ended up filling it with a garden house, I was gonna buy the adapter but it was $17, they guy recommended that I wait till boxing week and get the 25ft python kit for $30.
