Yup, I'm going to post my build thread all at once for the masses. I think of the tootsie-roll slogan, how many licks to the center... but how many mods can I do to my nanocube to make it awesome!

The herbies are just much more sensitive to things getting into the plumbing because of the restriction. I love them though and wish I had the second hole for an emergency drain!
Durrrrr, for some reason all this morning I was thinking there was a valve on the drain; but this is not the case... Slurpees when its -5C out makes the brain slow.

How is the noise with the plumbing done now ?
