I modified a standard hobie tank by changing the stock dip tube with a replacement tube of similar diameter but about twice the length . I found this clear flexible tube at the local aquarium shop. I can dictate the water level by raising and lowering the tube . At full height the tank can probably hold about 4 gallons . 15 macs easily . I have probably stuffed more than a couple dozen in there just for giggles and still have enough at end of day to feed the vultures on shore. Two other advantages of this modified tube are that the tank is more stable with the tube sitting deeper in scupper hole , and the other advantage is that the black insert at bottom of tank is less likely to crack from stress because the tube is more flexible and absorbs stress more . If anyone is interested in pics let me know . Hope this might be useful to someone else .

As soon as I splash some water on my face I will get out to garage and snap some pics. I did a few other mods to tank , stolen ideas from other posts . I will gladly share . Just give me a few to piece it together .
