Folks, if you've recently upgraded or renewed your annual club membership but it's still not active, please reach out to the BOD or a moderator. The PayPal system has a slight bug which it doesn't allow it to activate the account on it's own.
I would buy one it would be easier for you.
You could put a want to buy in the for slae forums here and probably get one quick.
Or you could contact RichT about building you one.

Ok,
Your post is a little bit all over place,so I will try to give you a simple answer based on it.
What kind of fish do you want to keep?
Instead of building 1 can you fit the small CPR aquafuge on the end of the tank.
The Fauna kit sounds good but you can get the same for alot less $ from...

I always started with the box low,better to have the tank level low to start than high to flood.
I kept it low in the water for a few days and would slowly raise the water level till it went half way up the tank trim.
