I wanted something that was a bit different when it came to the shape of the tank. Also this system is a all in one and allowed me to make the filter section wider without taking up a lot of tank room. There is a bump out on the back of the tank as well.

Really nice skill's Is it trimmed out in pvc?

Yes it is... A product called Sintra, The final trimming of the tank still has to be done at some point soon. I am stepping back a bit as this was a long build and want to enjoy it.

Thank you.

very nice!

Thanks this was a lot of work... Sitting here watching in from my office it was all worth it.
