Looking good there Ian.

Nice looking tank. The OM should generate some nice random water movement.

I would consider using some hot water or a torch to heat the fibre re-enforced plastic tubing on your drain - that tubing, while clamped, looks too close to the end of that barb fitting for my liking (specially in the absence of a 90 degree elbow). Better still, consider using all PVC until you direct the flow downwards.

Good pointers, I think I will take your advice! I don't want any leaks. The tank is now up an running, I will make the adjustments tomorrow.


Thanks!!

Yup, putting the tubes on the grey things, I always run them under the tap for a little bit. Doesn't need much, about a minute and it will be soft enough to easily push on.

I heated up all the tubes as per your advice and they just slid right onto the fittings like butter, thanks for the advice, I still need some Cheato and some live sand if anyone has any extra. The tank is fully cycled now and I have got a few pretty happy frags in the tank. I still have to move over another 25 or so frags from the main display.

Apparently I am now considered a "business" because I am offering frags for sale from this 20G garage frag tank, I think I have given more frags away free than I have actually taken money for . I am not allowed to post any sale adds for the frags. My posts are being actively removed.

I cannot justify the fee to be a sponsor yet as I work far to much at my real job to make any money at this. I guess all of this is to be fair with the paying sponsors that really do make this a for profit business. I will not be "posting" any more frags here for sale until I sign on as a vendor. Thanks to those that did get some frags from me free or not!

I will still update how my frags are coming along in this new tank! Here are a few pics so far!

Sorry for the crappy colors, this camera sucks!
