Hey guys, I have a picture to show all of you. The kind that an owner gets excited over. Water in the tank!! Here's my tank filled as high as I can currently fill it (the plumbing and overflow box aren't totally finished yet): At the water's highest point I went ahead and measured the distance from the rim to the water line at all 4 corners.
