Will do.

Here are some 3D pictures I made with google sketch up. Bare with me, this is my first time using it. The tank is going to be 43 inches long, 17 inches wide, and 18 inches high. Its going to have an overflow on the back.
Here is a picture of the front/topish.

Side view.

And the back.

Yeah, I can't wait till I'm going to start building it.

I was thinking maybe I should add a wave box just like Bronco300 did on his wooden tank?

this may sound like a stupid question, but is there gonna be like glass or anything infront of the wood..like a block from wood to water...if not wont the wood rot?

I'm going to be doing the tank exactly like Bronco300 is doing. Just much smaller than his. Here is the link to his build.

Here is a new picture of the tank I just made. Instead of making an overflow box in the back, I decided to go with a corner overflow.

so have you started building or are you still diagramming it? Looks cool so far.

No, not yet. I'm still diagramming it and reading about plywood tanks. I want this tank to be perfect.

What do all of you think of the tank foot print? 43 inches long, 17-18 inches wide, and 20-21 inches high. There is going to be a corner over flow and a wave box thats going to be 4 inches long, 17-18 inches wide, and 20-21 inches high.
