210 tanganyikan tank - start to finish

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
I enjoyed reading your thread. When I'm ready to setup one, i will use yours and maybe mix it with fmueller for the fish and closed-loop setup.
 
I just though of something, couldn't you turn the pvc pipe that drains into the FX5 180 degrees.

If that hose should leak, it wouldn't drain to the bottom hole. Unless of course it leaks from the bulkhead or one of the elbow joints.

I SEE A MAJOR FLAW IN YOUR ABILITY TO READ AND PAY ATTENTION TO DETAIL!

Please enlighten me then. I saw the way you have the tank plumbed. It looks to me as if one of the valves on the FX5 breaks, you have to drain the tank down past the lowest bulkhead to pull the valve out. I was just pointing out that having shutoff valves inline above that would keep that from being a problem. Or you can just be a size 7 font jackass again.

If your Fluval breaks or stops working you are going to have to drain almost the entire tank to take it out and fix or replace it.

no, your wrong! all i need to do is turn the fx5 valves to close and remove the fx5! i dont need to drain nothing!
