Just got my tank!

sorry I'll take pics of my collection cup tonight.

I am so very very low on disk space at my ISP. they give me 10 MB I think. I am having to compress my image so much that they look like poo.

yeah and it's adding weird chair ghosts
 
Yes, yes it is.

I'm heading off to marine depot in about 30 minutes to pick up an acrylic mounting kit for my Tunze powerhead. I love the fact that you can drive there and pick up stuff.

Why pay shipping when you can pay tax!
 
I would like to mount mine against my side wall. The pump only comes with hardware to drop it down from where ever your lip is. My lip is 5 inches into my tank. See my pics. So to get it against the side of the tank you have to buy an optional piece to wrap around the lip.
 
Yes silly.

I got it 30 minutes after my first post.

Are you coming over tomorrow to build canopies?

Sunday I'm only free in the morning. Afternoon I'm seeing someone else.
 
Fmellish, for the Tunze couldn't you have used the magnet they make to hold it from the out side? I saw it used on a tank before. Seems to hold it quit nicely. Although it is rather big and bulky, sort of unsightly.
 
The magnet is only recommended for glass from what I can tell. I'm sure it would put some pretty nice scratches in acrylic.

But I don't know for sure. The pump sure shakes around a lot. Maybe I should investigate the magnet more.

Although it does look quite nice now with the new kit installed.

Thanks
 
The tank I saw it on was a 150 acrylic, but you know your right about the scratches. I am trying to remember if there was something special he had between the magnet and the pump. I will have to go take a look at his setup. I will let you know what I learn.
 
Also, I angle my head at about a 60 degree angle.

I do'nt know if you can use the swivel attachment and angle the pump if you use the magnet.
 
oh ok, I don't know either. I REALLY LIKE THOSE TUNZES BUT CAN'T AFFORD THEM. i WILL HAVE TO SETTLE FOR ONE OF THOSE SEIO M620'S OR THE HIGHER ONE M8 SOMETHING.
 
This thing is a monster. It makes my tank look small. And it shakes to violently, especially at top speed. It looks like its going to fly off the holder at any moment.

It has totally aquascaped my sand for me. now all the sand is positioned in rolling dunes and all pushed up under the rocks. Its incredibly powerful. I've got a little whirlpool in my tank now.

i'm going to take some pics tonight and update my website so everyone can see the new position since I installed the new mounting kit.

Yes Mike. I peed in my tank. I thought it would aid in the process of establishing my bacteria colony and increasing my ammonia at the same time.

Was I not supposed to? You don't wanna know what i did in my sump!
