Just a written update, for now. Somehow, i found the energy last night to finish covering the back wall of this beast. I know, i said to wait a week between coats, but just like a pet store or my parents, this is a case of do as i say, not as i do.....lol i will post up some pics tonight when i get home from work and after i run a shop vac through the tank before i flip it to do the sides. I'm kind of fast tracking this because i want to get the aquatic section planted next weekend. There are a few plants in my 75 that are going to find themselves in this tank and next week will coincide with a trim on the 75. The less i need to disturb in any tank, the better.

I still need to pick up my aquatic substrate, grab a lid for this tank, build a stand and get bulbs for my light fixture.
