I was sick of tanks everywhere so I consolidated to one wal, it's got 3x 4x14x18's 2x 4x2x2's and 2x 3x18x20's, I'm running air filtration with sponges from a 70lt/min air pump and so far it's great, just 2 more to cycle then I can move some more fish to there new tanks smile.gif cheers for looking smile.gif

I've no idea what that is!

Color me intrigued though, I have such a hassle changing my bottom tier tanks that I usually neglect them

It's a pond one O2, 8000 plus, 70lt/min, rrp $189. I'm now running 27 sponges and 4 undergravel spouts from the one unit with no dramas at all. I've tapped all the individual lines for better flow control. Runs silent and smooth, the bubbles are louder than the pump smile.gif

How many tanks are you planning on running king ?
AOA had large sponges for $3.50 not long ago if they come back on sale grab a heap.
I have the same air pump and it's awesome I run 22 outlets and have an air release tap because I have to much air smile.gif

Tank wall looks great.

Have to say it...clean the coffee table! Hardly room to put your feet up to enjoy the tanks! Rofl_3f.gif
