    Hey! Looks really good! If I were you I would invest in Hydor Koralia (12Volt) pumps! Depending on your tank I would get Koralia 2 or 3! They are really good!

    Yeah! Why not?! I would try to embed maxi jests in the LR to push some water through it and remove any "dead spots". If I were you I would go for Koralia 3/4 models! :) The rule of thumb is to provide around 40 x (volume of your tank) water flow per hour!

    Looks natural, I dig it..

    I must say that fan on the top worries me though. I hope it is secured and / or it is connected to GFCI cicuit. I have heard too many stories of something like that falling in.

    One was from a cat that jumped up to take a look and pushed in the fan. Not a good ending...


    \Cheers

    what is that piece on the right sitting on, It looks like it just comes down into a point? I may be missing something. It just looks a little unstable.
