Ok here are some pics of my tank I currently have a 55 gal. and call myself upgrading to a 125. I think I will be satisfied with this tank once I get it up and running. If my wife has anything to do with it I better be it's been nothing but time and money with this tank so far but here we go feel free to give some input. I started taking pics after I built the stand and was so called half way through but quickly realized that it had to be modified for the sump to fit in http://s1203.photobucket.com/albums/bb393/logiq12/?action=view¤t=2df53b4b.jpg&newest=1
I wish I knew how to put the pic on here but i guess this will have to work in this first pic I had doors centered. I realized after some of my boys told me that that had to be changed I had to go to the butcher shop witch really sucked because I had already put in so much work by putting it in the house with the tank on top here is what I came up with

I was going to go with 4 equally sized doors but that wasn't going to work. sup wouldn't fit so I did this instead
