Nice! I always wanted to try this but I'm so worried that the water pressure will cause the glass to blow out.

:welcome monkfish! This will be a sweet little tank. How many other tanks are you currently running? Did your 39L ever materialize? How's the 20L?

The 20l is doing really well everything is happy. Ive decided to wait on the 39 until I move its just to big a project to do then breakdown so I figured for now Ill do a pico to keep me busy.
