My First Background....experimenting

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
Well its doesn't require lots of maintainance..just do some water changes like every other week..I do half bottle changes..later I added an airstone for some airation I teed it of my 55 gallon and sits on top of the tank ..it is held by a 2x4 that I made....the bottle is a wine bottle I got from work..I work at tthe olive garden so I have tons of bottles..lol..

Oh yeah forgot to mention that its a hole cut outs on top to put the stuff n fish there ...u can add an air stone through the neck of the bottlehose through the cork to be a little hidden the stand is a 2x4 cut at 45* angle also the hole for the bottle neck... its easier to make the hole before u cut the wood to size..if u have a drill press is easier...I did it the hard way with a drill..
 
Here's some pictures of my overflows ..the ends have a 90 on both sides not sure if I'm gong with a double or single ..my. sump will be a shallow one since I can't fit a tall tank under my 200...so I might cap one end or use both ends and have the ends meet in the middle like a dual sump but a long one..I kind of explaint it on my other thread.....not sure what to do yet...but here's as of now.....oh its a 1" going into a 11/2"...hope u like...let me know if u spot something wrong..I actually have a 2 inch pipe I can use but need to get the tees for it..should I used the 2 or stay with the 1.5??

LOL, Ive never done an overflow, so I'm learning here too.

However, another useless bit of cool info....

Gasoline, soap bar shavings and melted Styrofoam makes some pretty awesome homemade napalm LOL
 
Those little fish tank bottles are awesome! You should be selling those on aquabid and/or ebay! Perfect tiny tank for an office
