Curious on that too. Not that I'm likely to ever build again, but if I do, this is sleek.

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

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.
