Not too sure about shipping but they are located in Surrey so not too far of a trip for me.

Test fit before sitting the tank on



Tada!!!! Finally it's getting somewhere...

Thank you sir!

Oh, didn't even notice. Guess bigger if better when it comes to DC pump controllers? I dunno... It's really light though. Feels empty inside lol

Here's what I came up with for aquascape. Nothing fancy....I tried using straps and reef cement but that didn't work out. So I ended up using JB Waterweld from Home Depot.





And the plumbing..... Went with bean animal with schedule 80.
