Does anyone here have one of these tanks? If so, how handy are you with a tape measure? I am looking for outer dimentions as well as the dimensions of the light box/filter pump box thingie in the middle.
If I am not mistaken, the outer dimensions of the tank should be 10 inches by 10 inches by 12 something tall. I have no clue about the dimensions of the filter box. Thanks for any assistance.

If no one responds, I will measure one on Tuesday when I go into work (or I might have my friend do it on Monday).

The tank is 10"L X 10"W X13"H. The box thingy is something like 4.25" X 4.25" X 4.5" (I'm not sure on the last one but I will double check tomorrow).

We need to know the distance from the sides of the tank. We kinda figured the 4.25" square.

To get proper flow in this tank, what about a piece of acrylic tubing with holes drilled into it and then hook up the one end of the tubing to a small pump and plug the other end? Make the acrylic a dark kind so that it doesnt grown algea in it.

Like a mini spray bar? It should work.
