pretty sure they'd have it at home depot...in the plumbing/bath area methinks

I hope so. I know that they have 1-1/2" but I hate that stuff. It's enormous and unless you get the reinforced kind it doesn't keep its round cross section and so on. I should just move to 1" and replace both unions at the end and call it done. What's another $30 (or whatever) at this point ..

I really hate the vinyl stuff. I am using it only because there was none of the re-enforced stuff which stays round in stock. And all this because I wanted quick and dirty when I did my return pump swap which meant no pvc.

So Tony you're saying you trust your cube to a heater thermostat or what's in use there?

You just 'she saided' what she previously said. I'm calling the shop up and asking to speak with the boss I think someone's slackin' today

Those waves are crazy! I love it. I like your wavy seas. You get some sice random current from them. I find with the one I built for my tank, and the 2 korillias on the wave program I am getting some very nice random flows happening and my 2 triggers love playing in them. You will be very happy with them once you get some livestock in there.

Missed this earlier, sorry - but yes just a basic Ebo or something in there currently. Sort of goes back to the whole "it wasn't supposed to be this long" thing in the first place - was only meant as a temporary thing (this tank also originally had a ... I forget the brand name, it wasn't Won Bros, for a heater controller but it was something similar, it failed and starting reading these weird alien symbols instead of numbers). Anyhow other thing though is that the heater in there is kind of small, if it got stuck-on my "hope" is that it doesn't have the ability to overheat the tank anyhow. Luckily between the room temp, the lights and the pumps it doesn't have much work to do anyhow. It's actually a pretty low tech tank. I just use a floating glass thermometer in the sump to measure temp. Every so often I'll go looking for it and have to peel off a layer of feather dusters to take a reading.
