It's new to me but I bought it used from Ryan (R-3), and from what I knew Ryan trade with Fred (Frednack) here is the link to Fred's original tank

.

 

 

I got the fish tank stand from Ryan (R-3) . Took it home and put few layers of primmers on it and painted the colors that I wanted. Now the tank is mine so I made a few of my own modifications with the help of Magel from "The Frog Prince Water Gardens" here in Grants Pass. We removed the back wall and used the original overflow. We drilled 1" in the back where the 3rd chamber used to be and put it a silenser. I have a old 15G wet\dry filter that mods into a sump. I like sump better.

Yeah Steve, I moved to Grants Pass since January. I still travel to PDX for work weekly, any trade around PDX will still be good. I remember I still own you a favort, I told myself one of these day will stop by your place to pay you back (whistle) but lately busy with cleaning the house in Pdx so I can put it up for sale.

Woah, where did that come from? I think that it is everyone's choice to stock their tank how ever they want to. Its your money, your time, and your tank. You and I started on this forum, and I think in this hobby, right around the same time. While we both have been around for about a year, there are definitely folks on this forum that have been involved in SW a lot longer. That's why I run my ideas past them, for feedback. I wish you the best success with your tank, and I do hope that you don't feel like anyone is telling you what to do.

He he he Sorry about this post because I got some nasty private message from some people that I will not post name :-) That person is very much calling me a stupid for ruining a perfect all in one biocube, that person telling me to put the false wall back ha ha ha ... I know I spend a lot time and money into it, but I like DIY stuffs.

I also ripped the false wall out of the back on my tank. It was an AIO pacific coast cube, but I wanted to add an over flow box to run a sump which I couldn't do with the false wall in there. So out it came! The lid too was quickly removed in leu of a sunpod fixture. Modifications to your tank are your decision. Anyone who disagrees is delusional.
