Thanks for the warm welcome!
I am going to try sometime in this month with my 20 gallon or maybe a 10 gallon (so its even less mess to clean up if I mess up!). My question was also to lead into a bigger project. I was lucky enough to get a 90 gallon tank for next to nothing which in the future I would like to set up if I can find a stand or something suitable to to place it on. I just want to learn first and be a little more confident in my constructing abilities before going forward with something bigger.
