Thanks Paul! I actually have ordered some supplies from Neherp and they should come in around thursday or friday. I think i'm going to take your advice about the egg crate with foam and go with that. I'm even going to pick up the tank some time in the next few days. Its a 35 gallon long tank with a hole in it for plumbing so its going to be great. Any ideas on what filters I should use? I have almost no experience with this and help is very much appreciated, from anybody. Much research is going to be done.
