Thank you for your comments; this tank is actually 100 gallons. No way my wife helped me. I actually had to do it on a day she was working if she was home she would have killed me for all the mess I made.

P.S.
Wife's face if she had seen me. >>>:o

Looks good, is that the 5ft long 100g. I just got my 100g setup and love it, and so does my tang. How much rock is in there?

You can put some foam strip on your canopy door to block out that light from escaping. You can buy the foam strip with the sticker in the back from the hardware store. It's the same kind peoples use over door frame to block the AC from escaping.

Thank you for your comments, this tank is 60" long so that tells me that 5 ft. is about right. I am not sure how much rock I have because I have been buying it slowly. I can tell you that I cheated by placing the cheap base rock on the bottom and then bought the regular Fiji and placed on the top. I feel it is not worth paying the high price for a rock that is not going to be looked at. My tank has been running for a while but just got an egg crate out and moved my return pipe as far to the right as I could because before it was right in the middle and did not look nice. I placed a new return pipe because I had made a huge hole on the top to stop the back siphon but bought a valve at Home Depot that does not allow the back siphon to occur and because of this there was no need for that annoying hole. I also made my pipe be long enough to cover the entire back of my tank and now I have a larger amount of water flow from the bottom shooting up of which I feel it is a nice option to have. Take care and hope this explains a bit why it took me so many hours to complete.

Fabian ;)

Which valve did you buy? Those valve need to be cleaned regularly. If you don't, it could malfunction and not work as intended.
