Nice work. I think it is humanly impossible to cut vinyl tubing square because it compresses as you cut it as well as the difference between inside and outside circumference of the coil. Maybe put a dowel in it to straighten it out to cut it.

try some pvc cutters (used to cut flex pvc/spa flex) or a band saw.

I just noticed that I've updated my thread on every other site but canreef and this is my local forum too...wow. alright to bring everyone up to speed. I have a new system lol....for those who have followed the nano-reef or reefcentral forums you guys know the update. I'll take a few more FTS in the near future and post it. Meanwhile I was working on a little project over the weekend, and hope you guys will enjoy it.

heres a FTS for those that are wondering what in the world happened to the tank I've been busy with a new business startup lately so there's just too many things to handle. Tank is still running though! and growing fast.

FTS: (nov.1)
