I’m taking pictures and uploading with my iPhone but the pictures are distorted. What’s the best method here?

Looking beautiful. Btw what you think of the white wall mount? Is it nice in the eyes with a white wall?

 

[Empire]

Yeah - wish I got the white fixture. FYI, the mount wasn’t made for a 24” wide fixture so reach out to aquatic life and they will send you rubber spacers which help keep everything in place.

I’m waiting on the fixture to arrive but they said now it has extension bracket included in their boxes and if it’s not there they will send it out for free.

How is the noise issue. I’m looking at a new tank beginning of next year. ELOS is on the possibility’s.

I've given up. I can't find the right balance between drain and return pump.

Thanks, noise is a deal breaker for the wife. And the over flow on those look like you can’t change much.

Pictures look great. Are you using a real camera or a phone?

My spouse was checking out my tank last night and mentioned that I should get a larger tank, but we’d need a small room behind it to conceal all the “mess”. She literally suggested an upgrade with a fish room!!

Problem is, my house is too small for all of that! Solution (I’m not moving, I live a mile outside city center) - extension! We are planning a 700sqft extension to the back house and finishing our upstairs walk up attic into living space. My house is a 1930’s craftsman that I renovated. Can’t be more than 1500ish sqft (just the main floor) but with an unfinished upstairs attic. When I purchased the house, a structural engineer said I would have no problem raising the roof (really just increasing pitch/ raising the slants) and refinishing an entire floor! So that’s on the docket for the next 18-24 months. Probably going to go with a 72x30x22 or 72x36x22.
