I wouldn't split the return piping there personally. If you want dual returns but only 1 return pump, split it inside the tank in my opinion.

Mine goes up and over, then down to the sand bed and tees off. I actually have a tee about halfway down inside the tank for 3 total splits. I put rocks over each split and built cave structures for the nozzles to poke out of but not be overly noticeable.

Inside the tank will help you lose less flow as each fitting going up drops the pressure available at the tank which, in turn, drops the flow.

So I'm curious what are some of everyone's hobbies other than aquariums?

I can't count that high...

I hunt and fish both. I also love listening to music and I enjoy reading and hiking. I also make blankets using a method called Swedish Weaving.

Hi, first did you rinse the sand if you are using dry sand?
Me I would add the salt in the brutes and check salinity on each and check once diluted. For the tank, add rock, after the sand and finally the salted water. I am a beginner so...

Haven’t ordered sand yet(only thing i need) Finishing up getting the saltwater mixing station together.

Figure I’d be filling in the next couple weeks.

@aquamedic305 what are you going to do with the back side of the tank? Paint it? Vinyl? Clear?

@00W did you get/order your puffer?

I most likely won't be there for March Madness. Looks like I'll be at the hospital.

This is probably my favorite of all the ones I have made. It was a gift for my sister in law. I have never made one for myself but maybe one day I will make one for me using the sabe colors but a different pattern.
