I jumped my 194 lbs up on there and did a little jig. Solid is right. Completely overbuilt for what it is going to be as only about 50 gallons total volume will be up top. I use this somewhat as the dry run for the stand for the 180 that comes next. Planning to go three 2x6 stretchers long ways. I haven't done the math yet in a sagulator to ensure it does not need a center bracing. If one is required, I will cantilever it from the back to keep the front access wide open.

Okeydoke. I must have missed the smoking thing but don’t care what you do. If I listed all the’bad’ things I do it would be a novel. But I wouldn’t expect anyone to give a rats butt in a reefing forum so I keep my private life to myself :)
That’s what I meant by “go outside and chill out more.” It was in response to the “Best buds” comment and picture of the shirt. But, you’re right, I’m sure most people couldn’t care less.

Would not think it could hold much pressure. Like Frank says, maybe drains are OK.

i have that going from the basement sump pump out of my house…for ground water that pools around my house. Nothing salty…but my sump pump is pretty strong and it’s held up a long time *knock on wood*

This large piece is just for the drain that trickles back into tank.

I did buy a smaller piece I was going to try for the pump side and will definitely pressure test outside of sump first haha
for a drain I see no issue and even still, for ATS not much pressure like you said.

I wouldn't hesitate to give it a try.
