i take it the 96x30x30 is in inch's??. It's a fantastic tank, i like tank's that are simple but effective and not packed with castle's and plastic frog's :D . Here's a couple of shot's of mine, it's one ive built with a friend using fiber glass. It'snot quiite finished yet my joiner friend is going to box it in for me :D .

about the zuchinni in your tank is it ok to put a tiny pepple in it to weigh it down so my pleco can get to it?
In my fish tank I have:
4 corydoras aenus
2 ? cories
1 corydoras agassizzii
1 common pl*co
3 fat bellied mollies
2 platies
1 oto
and 1 guppy (male)

all my other fish in 30 gallon:
3 african clawed frogs
3 feeder goldfish
2 blue gouramis
2 ? killifisfishes
and 1 round-tail loach

I doubt that a pebble is heavy enough. Try using the lead plant weights. Most LFS will give you handful if you ask.

Just stick them into the veggie.
