![]() Hello All.......
I have a new found respect for people that choose to put in a new tank. The work involved is incredible. So lets get to the tank: Here is the backing I have gone with. It's vinyl with clear mac-tac. I had 4 hands helping it went well and with about one hour of working out the bubbles it was smooth as glass. If this is the look your after, I highly recommend it.... ![]() The Back In The Tank Full Frontal $%^&$ ![]() The stand is (as you can see) back from paint. Great job Rob (Majestic) thank you Well the tank is in and running, sofar only a couple of loses still a day to day thing. Will update soon with pics and how this move was done..... ![]()

![]() Hey Troy......
Yes....there intakes for the closed loop. 3 strainers to 2 1in lines that Y into a Mak-4. I split it up this way to cut down on the sucking power in the tank.
