Ok, so Had great success with a 10, then a 30, now time to move up to a 50....
Picked up a tank and stand from Calgary, it was already drilled, so got to work masking off the back pane of glass.
Ok, so here is the story, bought some metalic blue rust paint from home depot, followed the directions to the T, The paint would not stick to the glass, so to speak...No matter how slow I went or how little I put on, it started to to run....grrrr... So I decided to go for arylic black instead, some of the blue wouldn't come off, and I didn't want to wait to use a chemical stripper, so I just painted over the blue, some it it shows thru on the front, but oh well.
So now that atleast hides the piping behind the tank. So got to work plumbing the thing out:
Got a Small trickle filter that I am going to turn into a sump with refugium:
Next step is to now modify the trickle filter to a sump.... and build in the overflow. Will update when I finish that project.
