got someone do the tank here in So. Cal. it cost me the tank alone $950.00 because of the overflow and additional holes plus TAX!
. it was built by Advanced Acrylic in anaheim, ca. i'll stock them up with goldfish first to run the cycling process then i'll transfer the goldfish to the 60 gal i have and have the dats go to the 180.
man that tank is goin to be the BOOOOOMB keep us posted..wat u thinking of putting in it...doviiisss hahhaha
i have some new pictures... improvised Durso Overflow Pipes. I went to homedepot and got 4 of 1" 90 Degree elbow. I still have some spare 1" pipe connected 2 of them and magic!
i also drilled one 5/32" hole on each pvc elbow, reason being is that if one gets clogged up i have a back up to have the day. here are some pictures. it's looks like a black and white picture it's jus because the overflow is black and the pipe is white. it was an exact fit... with limitted space to spare.

now i have to find some old mouse pad for my pump... basically it is creating some noise due to vibration on the wodden plywood. need something to absorb that vibration. then everything will be less noisy. improvised overflow drain pipe really made a huge difference. no more ocean bay sound. 
much less... just need to find some 3 old mouse pad. asking my friends to spare me some.
don't want to buy them... they are actually free from adelphia but only 1.
i think i'll lessen the gravel and put some black gravel in... just to have a black and white sand? need some help here... really don't know how to aquascape.
