The build has been stalled again.
I broke the 5.5g chaeto tank, minutes before I was to flow test the system.
I'll go shopping Sunday and hope someone has another tank. Good thing I bought more than one hole saw from Princess Auto.

I was going to remove the baffle from the broken 5.5g and post the tank FF.
I broke the back panel. Now there's nothing left worth using except the ends.
Thanks Murphy
It's forcefully going in the garbage tomorrow with much pleasure

Think I won't take a chance on another store bought 5.5g as they are just too thin
I'm going to attempt to use the broken one's frame and make my own out of (hopefully ) 6mm

You are wwwaaaaayyyy too patient !!! Don't know when I can see your tank is running.
I was looking to get the same baskets you have under your stand but I couldn't find it. Where did you get them ? I am trying to copy the way you organize your things, but I have to say I gave up ! Too much work ... and need patience .... I don't have patience like you

It may be OCD Everytime I think of a different or possibly better way to change something, I obsess about it until I can't help but do it.

I got the baskets a couple summers ago @ Home Depot. You may have to shop around though as I don't recall seeing them there lately.
