How many weeks is it going to take to make enough rodi?

 

[Fudsey]

Are you going to grind the outside or leave the faux wood look?

Looking to upgrade my RODI system now… it will take a while

We are going to build it into the wall so the front sides will be covered, may brick out the back two walls

Nice work and great updates. Do you have any ideas or inspirations on what you will do for aquascape?

I have a few ideas, open for suggestions for sure! Stoked for the top down view of the reef with the two foot drop into the floor and three foot from the viewing panel! Need to come up about halfway with the rock structure and make it so we can walk around it…
