As promised here is the build thread.
I will not bother with the "this was the plan, but now..." I will simply start off where I am currently with this build.
The tank is a 40 (ish) corner bow front tank (some calculators say 43, the person I got it from said 45, and other calculators say 40 gallon). It turns out that there is NO information on this tank form US companies and the closest I can find is in the UK. Which is a pain in the backside since I wanted a cover for this tank. So I am going to be making a glass / PVC sheet cover for this tank. The cover will be detailed in another post when I have pictures of actually making it. (materials in-home, just no time right this moment)
I have built a 2 foot x 4 foot stand for this tank..
Here is a picture
My intention was to make this into an AIO, however there have been some complications with the materials I wanted to use. I mention this so that when you see the next pictures you will understand that the paper mock walls may or may not be involved in future planning.
Here is a picture of the tank with potential rock work. (note: once the cover is in place the wife will not have to hold the lights up.. as it is right now, she is easier to find this way.
More information in the next post.
