Great Job! I love it. Thanks sooo much. Could you also include some dimensions? Also What software did you use to make this?

this will be coverd in one of my next post but some pics to help you out remimber your glass will be taller. Also keep in mind you dont need to build it tell you have cycle about 15 pounds of rock in a 5gal bucket with a power head and heater no light.

I do it that way because I found that sand likes to make its way outa the fuge and after some time it will build up around the pump and get sucked in to it. also it helps in slowing down the flow.
