Did someone cut a 10 gallon pump down to make a '5 Gallon' pump? If so, maybe my 'rat pump' is hardly an abomination after all...

If the glass tank is not 10"x20", it is chopped. Fry 17 did not have light arms. Since it has been chopped, the repro conduits that go up both sides of the tank will not fit.

Kinda like an ugly step-child. Gotta love it in spite of itself.

Nope. Will Never be "my" pump. I'd not do that even for a paying client.

I guess I misinterpreted the 2nd sentence in your original post,

" If so, maybe my 'rat pump' is hardly an abomination after all..."

Sorry. I was referring to the fact that my nearly complete, mostly original pump has been completed with authentic period-correct parts, not necessarily 'original', which might be inexcusable to some 'purists'
