How about the guy who buys vendor offered aftermarket parts and glues them to his tank, is he a builder? I have enjoyed watching and learning from all of you, no matter what approach you have taken with your tanks. I do not have the skills to do what some of you have done, but some of you have inspired me to not be afraid to try new things.
