I finally finished a few things and got around to taking pictures.
The first is the durso I made for the overflow (hate that flushing sound).
Then I have a picture of the canopy on the tank.
Last, but not least, a few of my water/mixing station. For my saltwater mixing bin I borrowed a design from someone over at --. It is pretty simple...close one valve and the pump pushes water to the side that runs down to the bottom to mix the saltwater. Close that valve and open the other and the pump pushes the water to the side that runs out of the bin. I have some flex tubing that I will put on when I am ready to pump the new mixed water for a water change....

Well, I use them before and I never had any problem with it. They way I do it is I mix of the bleach and water. Then I soaked the item that I need to soak over night or two days in the bucket. Then once I they item that I soaked is clean I take them out of the bucket. I used clean fresh water then soaked the item into the bucket and soaked over night to remove the smell of the bleach before I place the item into the tank. Thats how I used to do it before when I only have FOWLR.
Good Luck

Good to know. I was scared to use it but if I'm out of vinegar I'll use some now. I like your water station.

definitely the way to go. i want to re-aquascape my 135, and i keep putting it off. 260 lbs of rock won't be fun or easy.
