Short side CLS


Due to placement of my tank I was only able to cut on the left short side of the tank and on the back left side . I have had this tank for 10+ years and will never get rid of it SOOO I added a 6"x24"x3/8" piece of acrylic bonded to the tank for support.... My tank walls are only 3/8" and I am overly cautious!
The 3rd output port is out of view on this picture... Its next to the hole I drilled for the overflow to the sump (im still working on)..

From this view the CLS does not look the BEST but from where people can actually see th display sides you can not see it at all... I really like how well it pushes the water the entire length of the tank... I change to output/flow/direction to achieve different results.... When I get my 300 it will for sure have a CLS. Love not having ANY pumps in the water!!!
