You could just blame it on the refraction of the glass and water. I'm sure it's just a distortion.

honestly i am just about to the point of setting up plumbing. the return line will be the easy part. the rest will be a nightmare so i am taking it slow and focusing on the nano right now.

The whole project has been shelved for a year due to financial issues... the tank is going up against the wall for now.

That sucks but no need to stress out financially for this tank or project!

Circulation pump, heater, and plumbing. then i need to build a control box for the electricity consumption... and then be able to afford the electricity bill.

honestly, plumbing is not as big a deal but the fittings that i still need will add up fast. the circ pump is another big ticket item, looking at something like a pcx 100. i don't even know what kind of heater to get.

Twitter,
Just wondering why you were planning on the pcx100 ...
I'm running a Sequence/Reeflo Dart - they can be throttled down after the pump, and seem a little more energy efficient, as well as have a 3year warranty, insead of the 1year.
DART
