Tank and stand look great! What's on the back and side? Plywood or frp?

Plywood

I love the big tanks, but I'm learning to love nanos, too! They're smaller, so you can have fun with them!

I'm hoping to set something up that the kids can learn to take care of.

I spent close to 50 bucks on pvc fittings and stuff for the plumbing today. Building a manifold in a day or two or three... Busy with teaching summer school!

Anyhow, it'll have dual return lines, and three 1/2" lines with ball valves. I will use one line for water changes, 1 for a reactor and have an extra for the future. It'll all come off my water blaster 7000 return pump I am using for the current 120. pics to come.

Its amazing how fast those little $.89 elbows, and $5 valves add up. $50 isn't too bad for a first trip. LOL

 

[Dr.DiSilicate]

lol, the first trip fo sho! I'll be making many more. I do think I have most of what I need though.

$50?? That's IT? Good lord, that's cheap. It's more than twice that every time we go.

I think when I tear down and rebuild I am going to look at using quick disconnects because pulling my reactors was a pain. Looks good keep it coming!

It Dow look good. Are you using one of those as the water change station or are you going to add I fitting for garden hose. Like in this pic on bottom

I'll just use flex tube for the wc station. Also going to soft plumb the return from the manifold.
