Cat just jumped in the full tank. Hopefully once is enough of a lesson!

So you've learned your lesson and are getting rid of the cat?

I'm impatient, and have never done one before. How long do y'all usually leak test?

I decided on the dimensions I wanted and ordered everything with custom cuts from www.tnutz.com and assembled myself. You have to keep track of dimensions and hardware needed, but is definitely cheaper than a kit from other places.

I went to framing tech and upsized one of their stands for my dimensions. In hindsight once I go for a larger tank I will choose a bigger aluminum size and downgrade dimensions to what is needed. I'm not sure about extruded aluminum companies across the pond though.

To actually answer the question, when I built my still (dry) frag tank, I leak tested for a week. I'll probably do it again for a few days before putting everything together but I assembled this thing from glass panels with no experience.
