The sections look fantastic. Nice and simple but still very appealing.

IMO though.. I would definetly change the dividers. Use the blue parts, but get rid of that mesh. The holes are too small and don't allow for decent water flow. Go for cheap needlework mesh you can get at a hobby shop. Comes in different colors too

With how the tube runs the flow is now ok , it wasn't before thats why i added the tube and now the water circulates the complete tank

cos the tube pumps water in far end of the tank so it has to flow back through the tank else it would overflow

That looks great Pip......we actually have 3 tanks set up exactly the same way with tubing going across to the other side. It works really well

Looks good Pip. Im currently nutting out hwo to divide my empty 4ft tank. The question buzzing round my head is about filtration. What LPH is your filter? Is it an internal one only? I couldnt see any signs of it being an external canister filter. Do you have heaters down both ends? Ive thought about an under gravel filter but with the 5 sections in the 4ft tank i will need good filtration to keep all sections good so an under gravel one wont be sufficient. I was thinking of an external filter and then running the spray bar through the dividers.
