With the fish temporary placed in a 10G, I emptied and cleaned the 75G and placed the background in the aquarium for a quick dry fit to make sure filters, heater, and power head would fit and to see how it looked.

75 Gallon All-Glass Aquarium setup as a
community tank. I stumbled upon this site

months following Glenn's step by step
instructions in the DIY Project section above.
