    Default Tank and Plumbing

    Just wanted to show some pics of my novice plumbing skills. It still seems a little noisy though...was thinking of putting some elbow's inside the calfo to silence the gurgling noise...

    Default FTS

    Everything is back in tank. Although I think I killed my cleaner shrimp because I haven't seen him since I put him back in the tank on last Tuesday. I didn't re-acclimate him to the new tank water...just dumped him in. after 10 hours straight working on this tank and 4 hours the day before I was too tired.

    looks great diron. to make it more quiet, you can try to drill the holes a little larger on the top of the cap on each drain. you can also try adding a piece of rigid airline tubing down that hole.
