Mom had originally set up the tank a few months ago, but after a major leak, she replaced the tank itself, resealed it, and decided to build a better stand and filter while the fish were all set in a smaller temp tank. She has been working on this thing for weeks!! She has been swearing at pieces of plastic to make the filter, bits of PVC to make the overflow, and a variety of hand tools to put it all together. It came out really nice though!
