cichlidwife Posted December 23, 2012 Author Report Share Posted December 23, 2012 ya man correct, or did i cut dividers to short with the excitement of xmas ????. plan is to have a few sponge filters in back and a pump with 6 taps to fill each chamber, then will overflow to filter side.. cheers mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cichlidwife Posted December 24, 2012 Author Report Share Posted December 24, 2012 got impatient, dividers semed solid enough as silicone has dried pretty quick in this humid weather, have now siliconed back panel in place with over flow 35mm lower than top, removed all unsightly silicone also so tank is looking clean and sharp thanks mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
