I took it down because it was getting in the way of the light for the plants. I'm going to get some tomato plants soon, maybe today, and I'll pick up some metal rod to make brackets so I can set it up again over another tank. It's pretty easy. The hardest thing is supporting the UDS tank over the right side up tank. What's LAMO Boss?

Peter the video i linked you the guy used metal brackets to hold the USDT... but ive seen a better video of the true originator of this tank, and he custom made his USDT by making the tank with one side about 5 inches shorter (from the top, but once you turn it upside down, its short from the bottom) than the other three sides... this way, when he placed it in the lower upright tank... the front lower side would leave a opening 5 inches high, yet still underwater, and the USDT could stand from the support of the remaining three sides... this option seems much more stable and aesthetically much cleaner and beautiful looking.

I just put a 10 gallon tank on top of the 20 gallon tank I will use for the bottom and there will only be 3 inches on one side and 1 inch on the front where ther'll be a water surface. I'll probably go with the 3/4 gallon USD tank and have bubbles going up into it. I will buy enough metal for 2 sets of brackets, 2 for the ten gallon and 2 for the 3/4 gallon.
I saw that Spongbob where the front side was short.

just had a thought... if someone helps you with a DIY project is it still a do-it-yourself project?
