    This is what I was using as a frag tank but the flow and lighting just wasn't working out for me.

    So I picked up a 10 gallon tank at Petco $1 per gallon sale:thumbsup: And some 3/8" slip fittings and 3/8" Pex tubing from Lowes. And I had some scrap 1/8" acrylic waiting to be used, so I came up with this.

    P.S. Those metal cups suck. They release fast but don't last as long as the plastic ones (that are also $30 cheaper).

    Thanks.
    And your right they wear out fast, but I don't use them as often as you do. Only when I need to remove a large mirror or glass pane.

    I've been thinking about doing this with a 20 long or a 30.

    It's going through a few changes, the plumbing wasn't allowing enough LR rubble to be added to the filter side so I pulled the pipes and added another MJ 600 but that was too loud. So I pulled the upper bulkhead and started working on a coast to coast overflow. I just glued it together and will install it tomorrow.

    You get to work on a frag tank (which is looking good) and I had to install a storm door and new set of French doors. I am so jealous. I did get in a round of golf this evening:)

    Nice when I golf I hit line drives about 200 yards and a foot and half off the ground. Lmao golf is not for me.

    A woman runs into the pro shop and yells help I got stung by a bee!!
    The golf pro asks "Where did you get stung?"
    The woman replies "Between the first and second holes!"
    The golf pro says " Oh your stance it too wide"
