Finn...Man that's good stuff! I had a question about your Seio's...I have 2 Seios as well, but when I put them as high as you have yours, I get a whirlpool coming down from the water surface into the Seio. Do you have that same problem?

Yes, I do. I read somewhere that if you just dry off the pump intake slots and add a small piece of tape over the top 4 or 5 slots, that will stop it from drawing air from the surface.
I haven't done it to the one that is doing it, but I will today.

Ahhh...That's a cool idea. I gues you won't loose that much flow by doing that. I'm switching to the Tunze stream when I head over to Orlando next month. I'll see how they work out with respect to the same thing...Thanks again for he pictures. You have really two great looking tanks!
 
If you only cover up a few, you shouldn't really lose any flow.
I wish I could afford Tunze streams.
 
Thought I'd do one last picture of this tank before I tear it down and start up my 240 this week end.:D


 
I am planning to redo my aquascape soon so I feel your pain. Good luck with the upgrade.
 
wow, you have some of the nicest leathers i have seen. cant wait to see the 240, they are super fun.
