  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
The only thing that has annoyed me is they didn't plan for the return.

I had to snap out teeth in the weir and then zip tie suction cups to the pipe to keep it up as wanted it to come out into tank as far as possible to get better flow. There were no gap in the braces or anything to put the pipe over the top or anything.

eventually ill get some black pipe and black zip ties so isn't as obvious lol

Typically you could have them drill return bulkheads on the back and/or through the internal overflow if you have room. From there you could use pvc and loclines.
 
Looks great, nice work.
 
Finally after issues with plumbing and other issues, tank finally set up today and rays all in.

love how it makes them look so small! Lol

Did not enjoy catching all of the k1 micro and moving it across, was not fun.

Looks great! Moving micro is a major pita!!! That's stuff is worse than sand. Gets everywhere..
Tell me about it. Altho I prefer it to the larger stuff as means can use less as is more efficient!
 
I cant decide whether to add sand or leave as is. Old tank was sand.

anyone got any pros and cons with rays, other than the obvious ones of course?!
