Got my tank!

What are you guys using for strainers? The pvc is 1.5''

Anyone? Looking to get something to prevent anything from getting into the overflow.
Here are a few more pictures of the progress.

nice progression

Now its time to sand, paint, and move into the house.

I love the tall stand. It gives you lots of room for filtration and I like the look of a tank at eye level. Any pics of this in the house? Maybe water?

We aren't there yet. Still have to sand and paint the stand and finish the canopy. I was going to put a Lid on the canopy, but since It's so tall I am just going to mount a 2x4 across the top, level, and mount the light to it. You can't even see down into the canopy and im 6'0''

Anyone have any ideas on a good strainer?

The lids on the canopy warped a little

How about a reducer with a cap with holes drilled in it?

That might just work. I am thinking about building like an Overflow box to go around the intake. I don't want to restrict too much flow.
