Thank you!!! I tapped the tank with the thought of keeping as much room as possible in the tank for the in habitants.

Welcome aboard!

What is your tank sitting on? Are those 2x4's?
Yes, I know definitely not ideal :) I'm having a friend of mine cut me a slab of granite to fit the stand. He works at a cabinet/ counter supply shop.
 
Thank you all for saying hello! I did not think I would receive such a warm welcome. Some of the other forums I attempted to seek info on we're not so friendly. So thank y'all!!

Just please, all I ask is use the proper scientific name so I can be absolutely sure we are looking at the same thing!
