Ashburn’s endgame flat

[Kensington Reefer]

Wish I had a bigger house, that sounds pretty close to my dream tank! I think my ideal height is around 18” though. Don’t tell Erin

18” is great for me and the other arm length challenged
But your fish HATE you
They’ve told me!

Looking good!
At this rate you’ll wave water in it by morning!
Those are some fine looking pipes!

I prefer euro brace

I prefer euro brace

Me too. It’s a built in table. Plus supposedly keeps the fish in the aquarium

I prefer euro brace

Same, game changer. For both the reasons @phc567 just pointed out. I don't keep a lid on my tank and haven't lost a single jumper since getting a nice wide euro brace.

Here's another big reason - less splashing and less wiping down the glass. With a rimless tank I (or annoying fish) were constantly splashing water over the side. Euro brace keeps it all in!

The built in table is my favorite part. Plus the reduced drips and splashing like Derek said. Especially after earthquakes!

Plumbing hell.

 

[Kensington Reefer]

Oh boy!
I see water in there!
You made a big mess

All that plumbing fit so cleanly
But
It’s yours to customize as you need

I look forward to the pics of it full and flowing

Love that, where outside does it drain? I always worry about killing trees or stuff in the garden so I siphon mine into the sink. It would be easier to run it outside though…

I have a sprinkler drain next to my house so my sw will go there in the same hole.

How many times did I say that to you?!?!?
I knew she would!!

She really wasn’t joking. Under the stand probably has enough space for a sleeping bag tho lol

Ok got sick for the last few days and finally got the tank up and running, fixed leaks left and right. Still have to figure out what to do with my crazy skimmer that just won’t stop wet skimming

First 3d printed filter floss holder instead of socks, they need to be replaced 2 days after I put a new one in!
