talkalot82 Posted March 2, 2021 Share Posted March 2, 2021 (edited) Building my 20 long for new clown fish species to breed. Putting in tank divider right now. It's a simple system. Sand bottom, eheim canister, two clay pots, and a inline heater. Thinking since this is in garage a 200w in line heater to attach to 1/2 eheim hose. Any opinions on that? Breeding long fins, and platinums. Edited March 2, 2021 by talkalot82 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

talkalot82 Posted March 3, 2021 Author Share Posted March 3, 2021 (edited) So I sanded the acrylic up lightly, and retaped the divide up. Silicone with the marine silicone. Three hour check holding firmly not trying to pull or anything. At 9pm it will be at it cured time. However I'm giving it a week more before setup. I have a 7 ft steel stand coming for all my clown tanks. No more stands everywhere. The only other stand will be my display tank. If I can ever reach it to clean it other than water change. (No one helps me put up my Christmas stuff into attic, so it's all infront of my display). Edited March 3, 2021 by talkalot82 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
