    I noticed you had hard piped your return.Nice job. I had a friend that had problems with the pvc glue on inside of pipes. As in it may not have compleatly set up. Like it got a skin on the surface and when filled tank it contaminated water. A good rinse is advised. Cool stuff.

    The instructions are written by a 3 year old! Use RODI water and you will be fine, it don't get much more pure than that!

    Casey & Brandon, I actually did something to mine that I was told was not good to do LOL I used a reflective paint under the black. It's this stuff.
    Tulip Sparkles Dimensional Fabric Paint - Many Colors I got it at wally world. I used the hawaiian fizz and cotton candy. put them on in an x pattern with a sponge brush, then blended them and the next day covered over that with flat black paint rustoleum I think it was. worked great, plus I keep my Mg a little on the high side.

    ok so I should have read all the way back LOL I used that stuff on the glass :lol: not the pipes, they're almost all covered in purple and pink coralline all on their own.


    Looking good brandon, you don't need my help! You have it all under control!!!!!!!!

    Build threads rock. Where exactly is Athens in Georgia? I'm too lazy to look at a map, but you could practically be my neighbor.
