Sand substrate in a high flow tank...

[sunkenmetal]

Come on Nick. Vortech all the way. It'll hit the end but you'll still have the majority of your flow in one general direction.

Last night I had a dream about setting up my dream tank with all the badass equipment n stuff... It definitely included several vortechs... Maybe I shouldn't fall asleep watching "Tanked" anymore.

I guess... Vortechs are expensive I don't mind spending the money for them. But I can build this manifold pretty cheap and test it out. If I don't like it I can get a vortech...

To bad it's an ADA tank or I would just drill the bottom and run all the plumbing in the stand and mag drive it...

LOL there is nothing baller on that show...

[eklikewhoa]

drill it or trade it for a an overflow ADA

How much for the tools...

[eklikewhoa]

[sunkenmetal]

Are ADA tanks tempered?

[eklikewhoa]

It says not to drill them but FG has a 45f that is drilled sitting over by their bagging station.

[sunkenmetal]

hmmmm need to research or just sell the dang thing

[sunkenmetal]

Alright I am seeing pictures of people having them drilled on the bottom... So I am going to just drill this SOB and hide my manifold in the stand and use a mag drive... No stupid lilly pipes for me lol...

Oh and if you have a problem with me having an ADA tank drilled lol ....

[eklikewhoa]

[sunkenmetal]

Drilled ADA is way pimpier than a overflowed ADA.

I have a 90p w/ overflow. There is no way to hide the durso pipe and return. Therefor it doesn't look as clean.
