Have you decided on a pump and heaters?

I take it your getting at least a big jehmco heater?

and i'm glad to see you got a step stool. but don't feel bad. I got a tank like this. My big tank sits almost 6' high and i'm 6'1" and I need a little ladder when I feed and do some tank cleaning.

so tall tanks hurt us tall people too.

Not doubting the designers [who probably know way more than me!] but there doesn't seem like much diagonal bracing on the stand, do you get earthquakes where you are?

And where would I find pics of the barras??

no earth quakes here....

here are couple threads

Nice that will do. The 3 400w theos I got is more then enough to heat my tank. So the extra 300w you got will do great.

what are you using for bio media? all submerged right? and if so what kind. Bio max... substrate pro..... pot scrubbies...... something cool I don't know about lol. and how much bio? We know you're using filter socks for mech. lol

Ever think of lining your submerged section with air stones to get more O2 to the BB. I think this is something I Might do. It's supposed to promote better BB growth.

This whole thing is awsome. Looking at the row of giant overflows gives me goosybumps.
