here is a link to a site that i use a bit (sometimes down)
http://www.kingvinnie.com/aquaria/di...page.asp?cat=4
i was going to do the same thing but i remembered that i have a basement

so i could use a trough tank, but i have a bit more room than most, and the only personal help that i could give you is the same as RL did
so i gave you a link, HTH
