yeah i wanted to go reef. no i have some vinyl strips i got to go over the ones on the bottom and top so it all matches. hey gecko this wasnt as hard as you would think, the biggest headache was keeping everything square. thanks everyone i am kinda proud of it. any thoughts on what kinda protein...

there was one on the overflow side,but not in there.

here u go

here it is

oops wrong pic

see the sticker that says water level here

that water line is alot higher than what the overflow says to run it at, the crusty waterline is above the tall pipe but the sticker thats says adjust water level to this line is just above the short pipe. so im thinkin they had it hooked up wrong when they had it.

the crusty old waterline ,i think its an airline is adjustable to come up to top of overflow or all the way down so it all the way down drain tube.

yes the left pipe is shorter than the one on the right,(in pics) they both are outlets but the left one(which is the short one) gets the cap, so if i put that cap hose thing on the left one and fill the overflow with water it will rise up till the short one is submerged and then drains into the...

it sits like a cap kinda with the hose coming up thru it. you can see inside the overflow the tube with the black ring around it thats where it goes, i posted there with no responces.

it does have the u tube but i just left it out so u could see the inside of the overflow. so would it hurt if i just ran both lines to a t at the sump,so that way if the primary gets pluged for some reason it will start going out the taller one. or will that be noisey and cause some sort of back...

just lift up on the front handle and it gives you plenty of access to the tank.
