Thanks Eddy! I cant take credit for the stand though... that we picked up at Petco. We planned to make it ourselves but then we found this thing for $90 and couldnt resist.

Lovin your new avatar! Awesome pic!

One of them is 9-1/2" x 9-7/8" and the other is 5" by 9-7/8". Its pretty easy to do. I used some glass from an old aquarium and then the glass shop charged $8 for the cuts so it was relatively cheap too.

I used standard 10"x 12" glass pieces from HD for my refugium... the 8"x 10" will fit the 10 gallon, you may have to do a cut or two by yourself which is pretty easy with a simple $2 tool also available at home depot. Just a suggestion.

Put another coat of latex paint on the inside of the stand today. That's all done and should be pretty durable.

We put a different front handle on the door than the cool golden rattlesnake one that came with it.

Getting close. Once the return pump gets here on friday we'll set it up. We're gonna run it in the garage for a day with fresh water to make sure everything is a go and then its off to LilSaltCreeps place.

Thanks fellas. We're planning on setting it up over the weekend so we dont have to wait long before seeing how it does. I'm actually transferring the rock and two clowns over from a 40 gallon so once transferred it'll be cycled and ready to go :mrgreen: So I'm saying I'll have pics posted of it up and running by sunday.

THanks everyone. She's up and running now with rock and fish. Everything is done. I'll post some pics tonight when things clear up a bit.

We're running a mag 7 return pump which pushes 700 gallons per hour. With the way our returns are configured its probably more like 500 gph though. Still a gang for this little tank.

Oh thats not too much, as long as it is dispersed well... my 20L has a QO 4000, which after all is said and done is doin about 650 GPH. But with the manifold, you can't even tell it is that much.

Good work, look forward to those pics.

Now that is one bumping tank.... Great job.... One thing I'd like to see though, if you can...

Can we get another picture of this beauty with your little bro on the side, it would be perfect, since it is his tank and all, he deserves the celebrity shot for us....

Thanks,

MG
