New 15 G "L" shaped tank
 
Ok, so time to start upgrading the 10G Nano in the bathroom to a new and improver 15 G .
This is going to be an “L” shaped tank.

As per normal I manage to putter and fart around always finding excuses as to what needs to be done first.

Well I had some help with this…

When water shoots out the side of your tank it is a good indication that it needs to be replaced… NOW!
First the emergence Britta Nano rescue tank.

Then toss everything into a quick tamp tank.
Now that has been done on with the building…

And more disassembly

And even more disassembly

Until you have completely destroyed a tank.

Then a couple of more time and you end up with this…
