Tired. Got my old tank cleaned and moved to the garage. Got the ugly rocks scrubbed. Trying to buy a used noop light but I forgot to pay yesterday and today there's no answer so I don't know if that deal fell through or not.

Re thinking the 3d printed organizer wall system, it'll take too long to design each mount I would need. So whipping up a wood controller mount board. Glue is drying.

Hoping tomorrow I can start trying to organize and stack rocks now that the bottom rocks are clean(er).

Some bracing for that pipe would be nice. In case it gets bumped while messing with hob filter

I'm probably diching the HOB once it's running; it only has rubble in it anyways. but I can print something to hold both drain and return. Already planning on making something for the return.

My fx4 runs it. It was an idea I had for about 5 yrs. Finally made it happen in February 2024
That's basically it. tie the upper one into the lower one. Upper will be a display fuge. Although it sits about 5' 6" up so there won't be much to see.

you got me thinking: I've got a canister that can run it if I need more flow. Right now I might have 90 gph turnover.

I would run those pvc against a board for more support and stability. I had to do that for my drain. Makes a world of difference
