Hello everyone, I have decided to upgrade to the Fluval Flex 32.5 after moving the curio cabinet downstairs and freeing up some space. It did come with a price though, I have to paint the kitchen , replace the plastic mounding and put up some crown mounding. I know, I should’ve ask for a bigger tank (LOL). I am happy with the size of the tank and design.
The tank that I have upgraded from is the IM 20. I will be using the mighty jet return pump , hydro controller, heat controller, and trunze ato. The heater will be new and for as far as the lighting goes , at this point I am leaning towards keeping the hood and getting a second light. I have to keep the lid for fear of my crazy kitten.
The mods I have made to this point are :
1) threw out the filters and bought the in-tank racks.
2) On the lower intakes I blocked them with silicone.
3) on the inside of the filter system, I siliconed where the plastic met the glass.
All of the mods should improve the surface skimming. Now I have to wait to get my work done before the transfer. I have 1 picture of the tank that is being transferred from. Any advice or opinions welcomed
