I was tossing the idea around...My g/f has always wanted seahorses and the flow in the big tank would pin them to side

Well you ladies will have to convince my g/f that this is a good idea
Hey....why am I the guinea pig
It wouldnt be that hard really....I would just upgrade my return pump and "t" it off to the biocube for return....and since I can drill the back of the biocube, I would punch one hole low and one hole middle-ish to do a herbie style drain. I imagine that I will have to cut all the baffles/chambers out of the back....not sure yet....ok, it would be a bit of a project....but not that hard
