I definitely have a bad case of the frog bug! This build is dominating my mind and I can't even do it until March! But whenever I get a great idea I either write it down somewhere or post it here. It really does turn into an obsession if you let it!
One more thing I can re-purpose! I found some aquarium filter foam kicking around that I can use for filtration. I'm going to test the pump out with filtration and tubing connected in the sink to make sure it will have good head. I'm probably going to sand and coat my background beforehand since it's pre-fitted so I can just silicone it in when I do the tank. I'll keep coming up with small pre-build projects to keep me busy and sane!
