    Still trying to figure out this pic thing, but here is what I got so far. By the way, I did say previously that I was a little shy. I know the tank is not very attractive NOW, but give me time, as I can not fail. Kris

    I guess I am a little shy. The 55 gallon was given to me. It was my mom's and a FW tank before. I had to use a sanding kit and alot of elbow grease to get alot of scratches out. Right now it is empty and well, ugly. I will take some pics of the sump and perhaps the tank to show. I guess...

    Ok, for those who visit many forums, this could be a duplicate question. Otherwise I wanted to ask an opinion. 55 gallon acrylic was given to me and I plan on using this as a starter tank. I want to drill for the overflows and want advice: A) Drill in each corner to provide two overflows on...
