So......is it soon YET? I am pretty sure you could repost old pics and nobody would even complain...lol Take some pictures of your hermits, if you have any that is.... anything will do....
You know, we may put you on a picture posting deadline.... at least 1 pic every 10 days or so, that may suffice. You will have to run it by spanko first to make sure that soon enough for him

To do a tank that is 8" long, I could see something with 24mm glass or greater MAYBE; but to do two more panes of glass that are over 3" long, that is where I would worry. You will have a TREMENDOUS amount of pressure that will be placed at the bottom depths of the tank with a height of 40+inches. Read into Bernoulli laws of fluids a little, you will soon see how great the pressure rises in relations to the depth of your fluid.
Wow, something so informative yet ignorant.... Inches = " and Feet = '.... You've got me all jacked up... can your "laws" even be trusted?
