No kidding, but the tank I got used from my friend Neal for a sweet deal, Doug bought the stand as my B-day gift and my B-day money that I'm getting from my family will pay for the skimmer/pump/plumbing etc.

This is rad nice looking build. But now I'm wondering if I can have one in my frag tank what a cute bastard! He looks like he's just sorta floating on the macro in those pics lol.

So jealous of that pipe cutter! I hate using the hacksaw and then tracking those plastic bits all over the room (and house if you don't brush socks off etc). I can't believe that thing can simply slice thru it?!

I stopped using my hand pipe cutters after getting addicted to using the chopsaw for pipes. Cleanest cuts EVAH! ..... Not so clean on the floor however. The explosion of PVC sawdust however does make for some amusing moments when your spouse discovers WTH you're doing with the chopsaw. On an unrelated note my hobbies are still permanently banished to the basement.

I don't see why you couldn't put one in a frag tank, they are really cool to watch. He was sort of floating on the macro, he grabs onto it with his hands and moves around on it. Very cool to watch, only one time the macro started floating into to power head so I started to move it over (not realizing he was holding onto it at the time) and needless to say he went for a ride didn't realize what a grip they can have.

The pipe cutter is the best thing ever! Slices clean though fairly easily with the push of a button, is battery powered and leaves no mess behind. We were going to use a hacksaw but thankfully we got some plumbing parts from steve at red coral and he let us borrow it
