Hey I also wonder about drilling oput the aquacler and doing a small stockman in there, when you loose poer it would stop as the aquaclear losse power and stops sucking then starts back up when power returns..... :thinking:

Then use a piece if 3/8 poly tube for the syphon tube. Put A 3/8 JG on the bottom of the jug and use poly to go to the fuge. Then use poly to run it back up with a JG gate vale to dail it back if needed.

was thinking maybe a mini specimen container with a divider for the back but in the tank I need almost no space wasted.

I know you meant the fish thing as a joke, but I would put a clown goby in it. I love my clown gobies and I just bought another green one today. But that is just my $.02.

just an update the last coat of poly is drying right now. not gonna post pics of it cause they look just like the first coat just smoother. its now 9:37 pm and I have a lot of snow to shovel in the morning, we got about 8 inches or more tonight, so I'm cutting out for the night. Love peace and chicken Grease! (Rhymes but pretty gross)

OK I got here too late to read ALL the words on this post. So I just wanted to comment that the care bear in the background cracks me up!!
I knew you had to sleep with it, but does it have to watch you while you do your projects also?!
