I'm definitely thinking even if my fish recover I'm gonna end up doing a copper treatment and fallow period in my tank when I can afford and have the time to get a qt tank all setup.

I'm really thinking this style of pump would really solve my water movement issues. I just don't think I can cover the tank height with 2 wave makers. So.... 3? Yah I'm into 300 bucks atleast even with jaebo's. Really hoping these riptide ' s are actually in a normal price range.

So project qt biocube starts today I'm going to build a stand for it. 2x4 stand with a concrete top. Going to paint 2x4s white and stain concrete dark. Than add some shaded acrylic removable inserts for panels on stand. This stand is gonna hold my ato tank. I will need to build that yet also.
