Really digging this tank Jonah. Very nice work
I requested black O-rings, and thanks very much for including those as well. I was excited to test it out right away, so left the red silicone rings that were already on there, and filled her up. I found that for some reason, with the red rings, the tube was far too loose on the bottom. If I held it by the tube, and even just shook it back and forth a bit, the tube would start sliding off. That came to an abrupt end when at one point, I picked it up by grabbing the tube, and the whole thing just came apart, dumping the juice all over.
So at that point, I went ahead and cleaned everything off and exchanged the red silicone rings for the black rubber rings. The base is now seated much more firmly. The black and red look like exactly the same thickness - I wonder if the silicone has more of a natural slippery quality than the rubber. Idunno. In any case, its dandy now, and I'm really enjoying it!!!
