journal NoGi's Shrimp Duplex

[NoGi]

So after shutting down my old tank and getting a new one made I've sort of started setting it up. New tank is using 10mm glass with a 10mm glass divider.

First up was the black vinyl to the back to hide the cables etc... from the front:


This time around I want to hang my custom LED kit so I made some brackets to mount the light hanging kit:






Water test.



That's about all I've had time to do. I do have a problem with my 2217 classic though, it's leaking :mad: On the upside, my custom DIY intake works a treat.

LOL, yeah a 3 and 5 yr old.

Fixed one leak on the 2217, the head was filling with water and leaking out from there :( Lucky I had a spare 2217 to swap the top bit with. One more leak to go, the quick fit taps on the return hose are leaking. Same with my spares. Doh double doh!!!!

[Squiggle]

You could always get rid of the quick fit tap & run the hose straight to the tank until you get a new one or new seals. :encouragement:

Awesome, the only thing better then setting up a new tank, is when you put the 1st batch of shrimps in......what shrimps are going in ?

[NoGi]

Haven't decided yet BB but leaning towards some velvet blues if i can source some good stock.

[NoGi]

Managed to get a little time to do some more on this setup. My 2217 is fully operational again, got a new O-ring for the quick release tap which slowed down the leak but not stop it. Changed out the top part with another spare and all the leaks have now stopped. :rockon:

Tonight I installed the Makers LED hanging kit onto the quick connect tubes.





All level, that's a bonus. :rofl:

Coming a long a treat Nogi. Wish you had started this thread before I placed my tanks- I forgot I needed backing on the tanks and can see through them but will be fixed soon. Love those tanks they are a nice size.
