As long as floor it's sitting on is nice and smooth there no problem to move. They can Dent vinyl though

i like the mini ice cup trays made out of silicone. you can buy them online for a couple of bucks each. they are about the same size as the blister packs of frozen fish food you get at the lfs.

Tiny bit of orange peel, but 1st coat of precat before grain fill. Look closely where the light is shining. I probally need about 1-1.5% more thinner.

Sanding sealer plus 320 scuff. After a through cleaning. It will be time for grain fill.

Years ago I used a Rubbermaid bin. It was ~48x18x12 I had a few t5s over it. A power head at one end, MTS with gravel cap and co2 going into the intake of the power head. Had crazy growth. Let me plant out a 180 I had from just a few clippings in about 3 months.

That's a huge ph swing. Are you sure about your test? They do go bad

Yes

Just water is fine unless there is coralline , than you need to use vinegar to get that off.

if you are into nonfiction/ ww2 i would highly recommend "thunder below!" its the store of the USS barb. lets just say they sunk a train and were the only us troops to land on main land japan. it was written by then retired admiral " lucky" Fluckey it has been out of print for awhile, but you can still general find it at the local library. well worth the read.

how thick is the acrylic. that would be my only concern. you could pretty easily increase the hole size if that was an issue for you.

15 years ago I had ~40k into a reef in my shop. 48x48x24 cube, ran an ats, 2 400 and 5 250 de halides, motorized ball valves for surge tanks for wave making, huge ca reactor, same size sump and 500 gallon fuge/ grow out behind the wall. Once i got it stable it was great for 7 years, then the neighboring auto body shop caught fire and that part of my shop was damaged by fire, smoke and water. the guys insurance agent could not believe what i had in it. I had every receipt as i was using it for a tax write off.

Opened up new hvlp set up. Been wanting to try fugi spray for about a decade now.

Build your own inline granted this is way more elaborate than you need
