As I've mentioned below, I want the new 20g tank to be as lovely a technical contraption as it is a conserve. Because I'm aghast at how hideous the inflow and outflow tubes for the filter tank are, I took my case to George Lo at Aqua Forest Aquarium.

Should I be surprised that he turned me on to ADA's lovely Lily pipe? It's an all glass outflow tube, with a sunken cup that resembles the mouth of a Cala Lily. He didn't have any inflow pipes, but promised he'd have one by Christmas. At $100+ per pipe, I think I can wait.

I also liked that he uses very small suction cups to keep the CO2 tubing vertical and snug with the tank walls, so I bought a bunch of those. And some ADA check valves designed for use with CO2.

Tomorrow is Thanksgiving. As my ham bakes, I'll play around by installing my new goodies. Will post pics for your pleasure.
