yea gotta love Albert he's bad ***. woulda been funny had the cops pulled up right as we are doing it might have gotten some funny looks in forest lawn lol.
all the wood used on the stand i had laying around the garage and the top moulding is this beautiful blood wood that i couldnt resist using but in hind site it does kinda make that tank look funny. I was thinking maybe if i added some accents to the tank in blood wood it might make it mesh more but i dont know if i should completely scrap the canopy or not its just so huge.... Richard

Looks great. I was just about to ask why the pretzel for the returns instead of a plain T but then it occured to me you must have a siphon break up there.
Anyhow, cool looking setup so far.

Looks good! Let me know how you manage with the herbie overflow. Albert set me up with the same design, but was a bit of a pain with the ball valve (hint hint albert)...seems to be fine now though, just took some tinkering
 Otherwise I am very happy with it. Silent & no bubbles/spraying from the sump, works great. Goodluck!

well i had drilled the pretzeled return for a non siphon effect but then i put the educators on there and i had to get rid of the holes so i changed positions of the 90's so the holes where blocked. i will test the tank to make sure there isnt to much being siphoned on power outages, but with the educator's you have to have equal pressure from the outlets or they wont work so im guessing that i cant have an anti siphon break????
anyone know?? Richard
