I am going to do some sketching on sketchup next few days and see how i can work this tank. and go over some old sketches until i come up with something that will work for me. is there anything that might be a help to me as i plan this that i haven't thought about? or i need to consider while designing this viv?

@Krispy that's funny, My place looks like a warehouse for Aqueon Aquariums. (not hoarding, just storing haha) but yea I hung t5Ho light up in a store once, it's a shame i didn't take the extra's the owner had at the time. i could of got the extra 4 bulb fixtures for $10 a piece. brand new in the box never opened. but that was before i was into aquariums. and vivs. years ago. i guess i will have to figure lighting out once i get close to the planting stage.
