[jer1198]

its done, the new tank is online!

no real problems except for a few leaky bulkheads, and the water level set too high (ill have to adjust for that), for now i need to aquascape, and put my fish up in it, the look like they have to stretch their fins alittle.

i will post some pics here soon, but now that its "in the loop" im gonna take the rest of the day off and just watch the race on TV.

I would like to thank everyone for their kind words,help, and advice.

the hole in the ceiling is the location of the bathroom exhaust fan which will work off a thermostat/humidistat control.
