So you like my Ghetto intake do ya ! I bought this tank off craigslist and the people had lost the bottom half of the filter intake tube so i improvized. Thats an 3/4" compression tee. I unscrewed the compression ends took out the rubber seals and covered the ends with plastic onion bag to make a screen then replaced the endcaps to hold the screen tight and there you have it a double inded intake. It works good and doesn't impede the water flow.
The offer of some plants is very awsome and generous of you and they would be gratefully apreciated
I will talk to you later thanks.
