Thanks, It's not that bad to get up to the fuge we just use a little step ladder. I just start my tank cleaning process from the top down. I am loving the fuge above the tank. That is awesome! Thanks That is incredible! I demand that you post details on how you got this thing working in reverse. Like the plumbing etc. Really cool I am following this!
