This is going to sound stupid, but what are the corner guards for?

They get silicon'd to the very top of the tank. It gives you something to secure thing too. Instead of relying on suction cups, you can use zip ties or just thread plants through. It helps with making second levels.

OK. Tank in place with false bottom. Let the substrate mixing begin.

Looking really good, loving that false bottom! Really into those hides too, they look really cool.

Are you going to connect the two tanks together? (Please say yes, it would be awesome! :lol: )

Uhmmm, Ahhhhh, ummm, Awww,

maybe?

Actually, no, the 40B is going to be for the little guys. Play theme. Sponge Bob theme as my son does his homework there. His choice. :roll: :roll: :roll:

I'll try to class it up a little.

AAH there it is. You have such great taste in decorating. I love the plants and coral-looking stuff. Color, shape, everything, LOVE! I have 0 plants because i just blank out when picking them. Where do you get your plants?
Aerial view coming? Yes? Please?!?!
