    Looks good tatted, really interested to see the finished product. I love diy projects and anything in general that requires using a power tool ;D. Keep us posted!

    very true Tatted4ever
    tank looks good though , but sometimes it hard to capture the colours accurately

    good luck with the canopy build

    Ive been doing alot of work to my setup in regards to plumbing and my fuge.

    Ive redone all my plumbing and have gone herbie style cause I was tired of noise and bubbles.

    Herbie overflow is truly brilliant.

    I have taken the herbie method to my new fuge that I have installed. I had a custom acrylic box made measuring 24x16x16 with 1" bracing around the top.

    It was a lot of work and thinking. And it has turned out flawlessy for me. Very thrilled and happy.

    Its complete and Im just doing sime fine tuning to the gate valves.

    This is were the bulk of the work has been done in relation to my setup.
