Good job on the repairs. With a little perserverance and ingenuity almost anything is possible.

Not to hijack the thread, but what kind of cichlids do you have. I have an 80 gal tank with Electric Yellows, Red Empress and Electric Blue Haps. I plan to add some Peacocks soon.

I wish I had known you when I lived in Beaverton. Sounds like a really nice collection. I had 3 tanks in Colorado and consolodated down to 1 when I moved to Oregon. Then when I moved here, I basically started over. Fish are not the easiest critters to move.
