Very nice clean setup :)

This would definately inspire me to make one someday

[Stasher]

Fantastic setup, thanks for the extra pictures. I am planning on building a second tank and want to try a nice cube, yours has become the perfect model :biggrin: The tank and sump look DIY, was it you? If so, nice job.

[clownchick22]

It is so "perfect"... almost looks fake :).. (thats a compliment)

Hey Newguy,
The Fan you have in your sump. Where did you get it. I have two of them from LD but I have been into 1000 London Drugs looking for them and can not find them. (SW has taken it's toll on them and they are fried)

Thanks
Jason

BTW the tank and setup looks great.

[christyf5]

Jason,

I have one I got from Canadian Tire. $10.

Christy :)

[mr_alberta]

Hi all,

Thanks for all the compliments! The sump is a standard 29G with the trim ripped off. The stand is very DIY though! A friend and I built it out of 2x4 and 1/2 Ply for skin.

The fan was purchased at Canadian Tire. So far, its performed like a champ! It was about $10 as Christy said above.

Great pics Harv!
Going to be something else once they grow in.. :biggrin: :cool:

[Jaws]

Nice tank!

[Richer]

Awesome pics Harvey. Once they grow in, you better start frisking everyone who visits your tank for plastic lined pockets and cutters, especially with that open top tank of yours :eek: :lol:
