I knew ive seen the PVC frame to hold the Piping somewhere. I love it! the 8500 gal
That’s totally what I saw and made too!! It looks so much better! Torbin is doing such a great job with his build!!

I trimmed a few inches of excess off the top height of the pvc pipe and it looks better!

Lost the old black tang in the last few days. One of the large purple tangs would fight with him each night, the black tang held his own for months but finally found him toasted tonight after returning from a few days of Tavel… :crying-face:

Otherwise great start and wish you all the best.
