Is this tank restorable?

[abrinn23]

Haha that's what I thought but I didn't know if it was that simple

Basically just figure out what PVC fittings you need to fit the hoses on there. I used some threaded nipple fittings that the hoses slide up on, while the other end screws into the pvc piping. Likewise though you'll need to figure out some way to attach an intake tube with a strainer on it to keep from sucking fish up.

If it sounds too complicated then just don't use them, it's no biggie, but nice to have if you ever do decide to run a sump.

What filters do you have? Looks. Almost looks like 2 marineland emporer 400's

 

[abrinn23]

That is exactly correct!

 

[aaronjohn20]

What are you planing on stocking with that kind of filtration lol? Cichlids I presume

 

[chrismiller21]

I had to diffuse mine. they where throwing the smaller fish all over the tank lol

 

[aaronjohn20]

I've got a marineland penguin 350 on a 20g tall lol. I'm happy with it

I was going to do an Oscar but now I'm leaning more towards a black ghost knife

 

[aaronjohn20]

If you do go that route, I've seen a couple stories on here of them gettin stuck to the intake strainer. Just some fyi. Does your have the mid level strainers? I don't remember from your pics. If they do you could run them open and that would lower your suction level from the bottom strainer

 

[abrinn23]

Yeah iVe heard that too...lets cross our fingers lol

 

[abrinn23]

And yes they do, good idea!

Hope it all works out for you. How are you cycling your tank?
