that is actually one tank with a center divider each side has its owen over flow and supply lines. They are for my clowns and anenomes got tired of them moving around in my display stinging everything. I have a green bubble tip in one side and a rose bubble tip in the other. with a pair of true percs and a pair of black and white orc's this system is conected to my main system. I got some work done in the equipment room this weekend I'll get some pictures posted in a day or so. Thanks for all the kind coments. Paul |

How do you like the revolutions? Which version did you go with?

I bought them used but pretty sure they are version 6 I really like them was not sure at the begining but after I got them hooked up I love the flow and you hardly notice them. I have six so far and I'm going to add another two.

I have made some more progress with the tank upgrade. Got the basement finished and also got the oak work done on the base of the tank at the top of the stone work.
I still have to finish the canopy but it's getting there. |
