Just praying that the finished tank is not gonna sit in front of that window.  Please tell me those back legs will have a second 2x4 or 2x6 that will sit between the top frame and bottom frame like the front side does!I'll try and sit back and observe and not panic! lol ------------- My ocean. 90g (yup, won it!), 40g, 28g, & 10g Systems PADI Advanced Open Water http://utahreefs.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=63568&title=krazies-nano-paradise" rel="nofollow - Tank Thread: |

That looks great. Coming along nicely. I have found it useful to put pond liner on the bottom and up the sides a few inches to contain any leaks.
