    Thanks
    Yeah be sure to get an aqua lifter and connect to at least one of the u tubes. I connected to only one as the left one appeared to always have a bubble in it. The aqua lifter can be your first line of defense and if that fails you have the line of defense you are currently using. If that fails, then you better hope you catch it before both fail.

    I really like the aqua lifter as neither u tube has lost its siphon since the hook up.

    Just a tad bit of advice if you don't already have one or didn't know about it. I am all about safety and precaution. Last thing you want is a mess to come home to after a long day of work.

    Can wait to show you all the pics of the stand we are custom building. It will have double doors like french doors to open in the front for easy access and i am placing a third door at the end possibly if and when I upgrade the sump to a 55 or larger in the future so as to slide the tank in.

    Also can wait to show you all the background I am working on. The blue background is painted and will be coming off when the tank stand is replaced. I am confident you all will like it as I am doing quite a bit of planning on it now.

    Check back often. Will post as I progress.
