Argh, nasty. What was he thinking?
I ordered a bit and before it gets here I'm going to haul the tank up to the glass shop. They said that they have a filter or meter or something that...
Not quite sure, maybe your outlet elbow is too low. Mine is just about even with the bottom elbows. 1" shouldn't be too large as I made mine from 1...
I talked to a guy up there the other day and he told me about the polarized sunglass thing. I thought about the bean but I would prefer an internal...

No bio-balls or sponges, I change out and wash my filter sock every day. I am going to split my return pumps and arrange my power heads differently...
So you would do Lexan over just regular plexi? Strength issue? Scratch resistance? I would imagine that if I used Lexan I could probably use 3/8...
