Eshopps Mariner M40 Build

This is super helpful. Thanks for the detailed info. The info about decorative rock’s volume relative to weight is particularly helpful. I probably would have ordered way too much. I’ll likely go for something like 15 pounds+ to have plenty for the display and some for the sump. Gonna do rock and macro in the Fuge section.

Just got my lid from Kraken!!! No more worrying about jumpers now.

Paid around $250 for this and it took about a little less than a month to arrive.
 
The Kraken lid looks sick! I was initially going to go with a diy mesh lid, but seeing this, I’m definitely reconsidering.

I’d be curious to know how much top off water you’re burning through. I’m looking at ATO reservoirs and wondering if 5 gallons is enough for 7-8 days. I know evaporation rates vary with conditions, but would be good to hear what your experience has been. Thanks!
