New home for my cichla

What are the dimensions for that tank? It looks really tall. Good job on setting it up so quickly. It's gonna look awesome when your orino's are in there.
 
6x3x3. i dont think i can ever own a 2ft tall tank anymore. :)
 
awsome job bro whered u get those one way check valves on ur returns? and why did u put the filter screen on the ends or the returns is it cause the flow was to much since u were using a pond pump?

got them from aquacave.com, but lots of aquarium supply places sell them. i put the intake screens so it could disperse the water a little rather than shoot a stream of water across the tank :)

nice!!! did u use novus and some elbow grease to polish up the tank???

oh man!!!!!!!!!!!!!! that was one messy project. i borrowed a friend industrial buffer/polisher and buffed it inside and out with Novus 3 and 2. then finished it up with Novus 1. the tank was in really good shape, but this took care of the fine scratches and brought out the luster in the acrylic.

good thing was i could just sit in the tank on a stool while buffing it out :D
