| Wow... That's sweet... But I think that I would have just gone with buliding an addition onto the house and having it indoors.  |

| Considering it's shaded by a tree the algae might not be as bad as we think but "Mr. Leviathan" will probably take care of all that  Neat idea though.

| Talk about MTS to the extreme! I wonder if he knows about the nitrogen cycle?  |

| Wow! That's so amazing. It ended up looking nice, although for a tank that big, I think I would have taken the time to go saltwater, although I guess that wouldn't really work outside. I didn't see what the actual gallon size was, did anyone catch it? |
