Hi D,

Could you link me to the type of PVC sheet you bought? I tried starting a similar build using acrylic sheets from Amazon, but I've butchered them. I like the look of the PVC you used.

This is the one I used, but I would suggest using thicker. Also would suggest using bulkheads on the return.

Noted on the bulkheads.

What did you use to cut it?

I used my table saw, but any circular saw would also work, or even a utility knife if you're patient enough. I used my table mainly because I can't cut a straight line to save my life.

Update: added 2 leptos (1 jack-o'-lantern and a blue one), some of my GSP is loose and flapping in the wind ( urchin). Any recommendations on reattachment? The wrasse is starting to eat frozen food, my Ruby red seems fatter and happy, and everything else is going good. Also the urchin is wearing zoas as a hat......... Question on pavona, mine seams really meaty, but I haven't noticed a lot of growth, it also has long hairy polyps, is this normal? Enjoy the photos

The blue one looks to maybe be a Mr Freeze Lepto.

For the GSP, no advice. Sometimes super glue works but you'd have to cut it off, take it out, glue it, and put it back hoping it stayed. You can always take a razor blade and cut off the flapping part and glue it to a frag plug though. Or toss.it.

It's been a month, all my tanks are doing ok. Tomorrow starts a new adventure, the wife is having me move my office so I get to remodel two rooms into a fish room and an office. On top of the living room/ kitchen remodel that's already underway. So to prepare, I am planning on building an aquarium into the wall between the two rooms to help distribute the weight. Once again I found a hobbyist giving away aquariums for free. A redsea xxl 625 with sump 160 gallon I believe, and a 130 gallon tank with sump. Both are needing to be resealed. So I may be giving away a tank or two, or selling what I can. Not sure yet but excited. The sixline and dragonet is eating frozen now I am so happy. Updates to come

The joy of free aquariums. I might as well have my own workshop.

Got a new bta, my other divided into 3. So since it is so small now wanted to get my clowns a bigger nem to harass. I have a red sea 625 xxl that I am going to start repairing to do a build in in my new fish room. I also got some glass to do a cube for my new living room, as soon as I am done with it. Excited.
