I just did some more measurements and I think I can swing a flex PVC pipe with all 40 balls in a serial loop. Gonna get some flex PVC tomorrow when the stores re-open. I started this tank almost 4 years ago before I went to Kandahar so it's about time it was a fully operational tank. I'm off until Monday so I'm hoping to get some stuff sorted on it.
