Low boy came in... shattered again. Completely busted this time. Actually looked like a tank that was previously returned because of damage. The bottom of the box had already been opened and the tank was set in upside down... LFS is doing everything to make it right and the tank should be here next Wed. He's going to see if he can get the supplier to discount the tank because of all the delay and hassle, so that's a plus... but since I've already paid for the tank it just means I'll get store credit.
While I was cleaning the tank I noticed a small scratch... I filled the tank to see if it would disappear as they often do, but unfortunately it didn't. The scratch is completely invisible sitting in front of it, but as soon as I stand I see it. Granted the tank is empty and there's nothing drawing my eye away from the scratch, but as of right now it's kinda driving me nuts.
Due to space constraints and not wanting to be overly crowded I had basically decided I would only setup 1 one of the 75s and the lowboy (real life compared to scale drawings doesn't always translate very well) . I was considering selling the new 75, but now I may keep it. The only issue with that is I'll need to buy an overflow and drill the sucker. Not afraid to drill it, but a decent overflow is going to run me nearly 200 bucks... sigh.
Here's where I plan to stare at my tank and sip on cold adult beverages. Ignore the mess of wires I need some extension cords/power strips.

A pic of that glorious scratch!!! Honestly it's not that bad, I just have a touch of OCD when it comes to the viewing panel
