Thanks a lot guys!! Took me almost 6 months to finish my fish tank, I only work on them on weekends and sometimes not even. If it were just a fishtank and stand with out the background and my filtration system I would have been done in maybe 8 weekends. The background and filter system took the bulk of the "build". This fish tank cost me about $3,500 including everything - pumps, heaters, walls around it......... The only expensive part of this fish tank is the front glass $500. The rest are cheap but they all add up preety quick. TAnk dimension is 8'L 4'W 3'H (outside dimensions).
