i mght do a few plants dunno yet.
i live in east tennessee
it will be braced. thinking of maybe bracing it like a + then i can have 4 lids, make one side of the tank lighter than the other. kinda opens up a few possibilities.
would just have to find the center of both braces, shave them down right there so when they go togeter there flush, but thats just an idea - nothing certain on that.
hmm 225 gallons? thats a little more than i wanted to fool with, but - we'll see how it goes.
