I used to live in Reston, VA. I did recognize the store name but wanted to confirm it. I was looking for a puppy at that time. Still am. Let me know when you are in town. I'll swing by and see if they have any. I've signed up for their mailing list too.

This part REALLY sucked... i was so scared cuz drilling holes in the bottom of a tank.. well if u screw that up... ur done... big waste of money... but it went good :> these are the holes for the overflow pipes...

This is a PVC quick clutch or sumthin... Im going to mount these on the bottom of the tank so that my overflow pipes dont stick out a lot on the bottom... this make its easier to place on the stand and move it around.
