Sump/skimmer is in finally
Ok i am glad the sump/skimmer is now in place but few things happen 
Ok the rocks fell over and now they arnt the same. Good thing the glass didnt break  But another bad thing is my canopy is semi broke i need to make a new one or buy one online form my tank. Anyone know anyone that has canopy cheap for a 72 bow? I could make a new one but it would be another month before i could.
Tim

When we picked it up to put on top of the tank the one side fell apart so it need to be redone. |

so did you end up taking down your whole tank, and putting it in from the top like you said?
