Default my shopping spree at ADG (56k warning)
Well guys, the Easter bunny was good to me. I stopped by ADG to pick up a few goodies this weekend. I thought I would rub it in by taking lots of pics. Mike and Jeff pulled through as always and hooked me up with some vintage aqua journals as well. Some date all the way back to 95'! If you live anywhere near Houston or even Texas make a trip over to their gallery. Its more than worth it!

Now all thats left is to pick up an ehiem, HQI pendant, 8000k bulb, and some hardscaping material. I saw the ADA "black wood" while I was at ADG and it looks NICE. Look for a detailed journal on the set up and aquascape of my tank! Thanks alot guys!

Congrats! Be careful with the Lily pipes! They are fragile. I have broken quite a few.

Can't wait to see the setup.

wow this looks very nice! i have a question, are the adg tank/setup use some kind of new design concept? or do they just make everything glass so it's easier to hide? for example when you get the ehiem canister, how do you plan to hide the intake/output pipes so they dont show up on your glass tank?

First things first, this is no ADG tank. It is an ADA tank, ADG is the company i bought it from. Secoundly your idea was correct. The lilly pipes are made from glass to be less visible/distracting in the tank. They simpley attatch to most eheim canisters and can be used as usual.
