Ya I think I will have plenty of room to move stuff around and get to frags.

 

I am undecided what I am using for powerheads. I am splitting the return into dual locline. I have 2 K-nanos laying around so I may start with them. My plan is to raise one piece of egg crate off the bottom an inch and notch and area for them to sit to create turbulence along the bottom. I have been contemplating a spray bar that would supply the flow to the upper part of the tank.

i need to get my koralias still and i dont want to misjudge what to use..

ive never done any plumbing before so that should be interesting, know of any guides or anything? i saw an ad for a hydor flo which looked pretty cool, i might invest..

What do you need help with plumbing wise? If its just the basic glueing and such someone at the local hardware store could probably give you a quick run down.

 

As for the hydor flo I have heard of them getting gunked up overtime and quit spinning. I think K1's would be pretty good for that size or maybe a few nanos.

Well I got the lighting all mocked up and now just need to paint the pvc structure, add some more eggcrate racks and paint the eggcrate. Oh yes and I need to pick up another stick of pvc. You will notice the pvc in front of the stand is wierd. I didnt have anymore pieces long enough so I used what I had for now.

 

Here is a quick shot. You get the idea

have an ebay account? if so, just message him and ask what he would charge you.. it might need eurobracing because of the size, either that or thicker acrylic.

You should paint that pvs to match a tiki skirt and make it look like a bar.

Talk him down on the shipping he will take less on shipping and the tanks.

 

Yeah - this seller is awesome. Even after you have the tank in-hand, if you have any issues, he'll take care of it.
