Good boss you have there!!!!

Yay for a good boss! My boss was tempted to go into marine after looking at my tank, but decided against it due to the maintenance involved. Koi ponds still suit him best!

No problem. I m waiting for my tank to settle down first before I purchase the media. tank ETA tomorrow morning and I have yet to secure all the PVS pipings.

Does anyone know where to but the plastic connector (joining the small transparant tube to the CR)? It's thread thing with a small L albow

Thanks
