JR! Posted March 17, 2012 Author Share Posted March 17, 2012 I've always wondered about those overflows. You likey? well i just a piece of acrylic that just sits there and stays there with water pressure. i really hated the water level that the tank had before so i thought i would try it. works like a dream. just a dab of glue and its there for good. gonna order the avast ato tonight. not to sure what pump to use for the ato though Link to comment

JR! Posted March 18, 2012 Author Share Posted March 18, 2012 Huh well it'll let you fix the level if it's cut too deep. That's what was wrong with mine. Worked perfect Link to comment
asting Posted March 18, 2012 Share Posted March 18, 2012 That's what was wrong with mine. Worked perfect A very clean solution to a common problem. I'll definitely keep this in mind when building in the future. To be honest, I think every tank I have will either be drilled or AIO (okay, maybe a picotope wouldn't), so this is great. I can't wait to see what else you'll fit in here. Link to comment
jgpico Posted March 18, 2012 Share Posted March 18, 2012 Wow I love this tank man. I really want to do a shallow build too, I love how the scape sticks out of the water. Now you have to do a fiddler crab so he can just chill on the top of the mountain. Link to comment
