looking good. I like the paint job! Are you adding an overflow box to the main display? I don't think just sticking a hose in there would work. It will syphon down until it goes below the level of the pipe (or the break hole) then stop all together. B

B I had not thought of that. I did not plan on an overflow box. I guess I will know soon enough. I thought the water level would stay the same in the display and the drain line going to the frag tank would not be able to loose it's siphon. |

looking good, interested in the trim paint. I hope it works it looks very cool. I've used the radiator paint on pendants before works great.

The CBB is named Homer?? We might just need to dig out that thread about who names their fish...lol Forgot to add...love the paint! If you have 2 bulkheads draining the 30g isn't the flow in there going to be too strong for the CBB?

thanks Matt   Kathy that's a code word  Emily=  why would 2 drains be too strong? Now you guys are confusing me with the plumbing. There's nothing new to take pics of chief as soon as there is I will post them! The painting is pretty easy guys, I showed you all the steps, you can do it! Sean thanks, link for the plastic paint, http://www.krylon.com/main/product_t...roduct_details |
