With Jason doing sports, my free time is much shorter lol, things around the house get delayed ( cooking, cleaning, etc ) because it's an hour of sports plus another hour of travel there and back, It's been a week of adjusting to something new, but we're getting there.

I get it, I had three playing sports for many years. No time for me back then but I miss it! Enjoy every minute of it.
 
Thanks, the nano cube idea came from feed back from reefers and from my friend who owns a company that sells tank stuff.
I am working on tank lids designs too.
MIght as well make use of the cnc, laser cutter and acrylic bender...
I can tell ya my plan is to sell them at affordable lower prices, if market bears prices on acrylic, polycarbonate and colored materials...maybe we should chat.. I can use a few test people out of AZ...once I make a few...
If you can come up with some affordable nano
Lids, I’m interested. My clear min 10 is boasting a lovely seran wrap covering lol.
