If all others fail, I will take them. Can PU on Sunday.

Any pics of this??

Ya, even cast acrylic will warp if it is only exposed to water on one side. I have tried this for lids and don't care for the long term results. Getting glass cut to fit is not real expensive. Buy from a glass shop instead of home depot or the like. Glass shops can cut 3/16th glass for tops. I...

Good luck with the blackworm. They stink if you keep them in the house. I tried a few ways of keeping them and failed. Now I just buy small batches and keep them in a "keeper" in the fridge.

The 93g rimless cube I have for sale isn't as large as those, but it is a new tank.

Not sure of the brand (I got it used, no label) Mine is a magnetic brushless drive, and can suck or blow depending on what end I attach the pump head to. I do fill the hoses with water from the garden hose to prime before I start pumping. (Guess I over simplified there)

I'd trade the 93G cube I have for sale for a habitat setup and a red Gargoyle in a heartbeat.

I want a Gargoyle. When I have the funds, I will be getting a habitat set up for one, then searching for a young female Gargoyle... Gotta sell my 93 gallon tank first.

We use an inline pond pump for changes on all the tanks, so siphon is not an issue. Takes less than two minutes to pull 60 gallons out of my 125g. Pre filter on the intake hose to the pump, drop it into the tank at the level you want to drain to and turn it on. When it starts sucking air it...

One more with all the lights in place and running tanks...

Got two of the 20L tanks on top, 55 below, LEDs working... In the next few days, the other 55 will be placed underneath, not sure at the moment what else will be on top. That's up to Katie. At least she has some floor space back from moving the 20L tanks.

Latest update, Got it mostly built and in the room. Still have a little bracing to do, but the top is anchored to the wall studs with 4" screws and it's stable enough to stand on with no wiggle or give. Solid as a rock... There are two 4' LED bars under the top, and I drilled a series of 1"...

Here's the top with a 20 gallon on it for size reference... (top inserts not screwed down)

Got a little done today, framed out the top, built the legs and cut the top inserts. Got everything painted and am basically ready to assemble it in Katie's room... That will have to be tomorrow tho'. Not sure if it really shows, The outside of the top frame is painted in Yellow rubberized...

Will take pics as I progress. Can't really spend any time on it till Saturday morning.
