Back in with a 235g Quarter cylinder

Got the tank in the house with the stand and hood panted. Rock work in and filled with water. Waiting on another bulkhead to get the mix station all put together. Added turbo start and ammonia. On day 2 of the cycle start. Already down to 0 ammonia and 2 nitrite.

Woah… you might want to revisit Rocketengineer stand design on the QT and mixing station stands…

They’re relying on screws in shear for their primarily load bearing right now, and will likely not last in this configuration!

Your right. I got another 2x4 already to double up the legs under the frame. Thank you for the catch and advice
 
This is the overflow box. I wanna make the small center one bigger to make it easier for the return pump. I’d like to just make it larger diameter almost backwards since the holes are already pretty close to each other

I use a step drill for acrylic holes.
