Considering the fact that JK47's internet freaks out if you even look at it wrong, I don't see this happening. :grinno:

Honestly, I'm amazed he even got this thread up. :WHOA:

Bro you should have been here tonight, my wife caught every fish and moved all the sand to the 300g! By 0830 (8:30am) tomorrow the 220g will be picked up and gone. Tomorrow I will post pics of how well the FX5 worked moving water from one tank to another... Oh and you missed dinner again lol!

Question for you guys. I am getting ready to finish and cement the external durso pipes. Any one have any suggestions for keeping small fish from going for a ride?
I use over-sized intakes to keep slow swimming and small fish from being siphoned up against or into the intake. Check out aquaticeco.com for their PVC pond inlet strainer. Even my angelfish fry are safe from an FX5's siphon strength.

Heheh, I see some late night work is happening. Awesome, progress! I could tell right from starting the thread there was no messing around here.

I think you'll be ok with the gutter guard, just check what it's made out of and coated with. Otherwise, you can go with an intake/overflow strainer/screen. I'm not sure you can find one locally, maybe ordering one at a plumbing supply place, or find a place online. Here's a saltwater website that sells plumbing, and has multiple cover options for you- http://www.coralreefsupply.com/index.php?aquarium=plumbing_screen.

I hope that helps some. Also, I have to agree with what you said about Clockwork. Sometimes, just having someone intelligent there to mull over ideas with is worth more than it's weight in gold.

I'm pooped...! I'll load up all the pics when my PC catches up. For now I'm moving on to the sump on the 125g.

(my 220g as of 10 minutes ago :( on to a new home)
