What are y’all using as a nozzle for the bulkhead return?
I haven't built mine yet but I'm going to probably 3D print something. I'm probably using mine as a Planted Betta and Cherry Shrimp tank so I'll likely print an air lifter rather than using a return pump.

I'm going with the Fluval Flex dual Nozzle for multi directional flow. (Amazon)
Down the road might try the VCA flow generator.

Should be ok. Next time do it in reverse. Peel off the letters and paint them. Did it with nail polish.
Before peeling off the whole protective coating only do the letters. Paint or use use nail polish like I did.
Missing the R2R shown in the mock-up but all around this turned out pretty cool :)

I did!

But I like that little baby one too!
We thought about having frag rack Fridays. An assortment of diy racks. Grab bag. Something to do with our mountains of scrap.

First render iterations. Notice the full bottom. Again, this design is not going to be everyone's favorite but it will make fabrication so much easier and with much better outcomes. The bottom panel will probably also be black.

I ordered one but it never shipped so I cancelled the order.
