I’ve had this tank for about 8 years and had it set up and taken down more times then I care for. The tank filter system was always the problem as the design was backwards. I have decided to completely tear the tank apart and rebuild it. Follow along this will be a long bumpy road to pico heaven!

I figured since I was customizing the tank already I might as well take it to the next level and 3D print customized 1/4" Loc Line fittings and Random Flow Nozzles

This will be a Zoa only tank here a few of the frags growing out in my Red Sea 425XL that will eventually end up living in this tank.

Tank has been shut down due to the filter just being able to keep up with the tank hoping to tear it apart and rebuild very shortly
