It’s actually a old nightstand that one of the 20gal invert tanks on, I jus made a sturdy platform out of 2x12 and.75 plywood
Treated everything with mold resistant and water proof primer then painted boards underneath then wood stained the plywood, then hit it all with couple layers of clear coat
Then used 3 inch screws to attach it to the nightstand, just gotta put trim around it to make it look more like furniture
Hooked up light today

Just did a API water test on my invert tank and I’m not thrilled with the results
Ammonia .25 ( uggh)
PH 8.0 ( not great but can live with it)
Nitrite 0 ( that’s good)
Nitrate 10ppm (ehh)

Ammonia might actually be fine for an API test kit. People say they give false readings of .25 when there's really no ammonia. This has been my experience as well.

You got a cleaner wrasse, right? Does it clean the seahorses?

Crazy bro your on fire right now!
Your tank is going to explode very very soon!

I have seen the reaction in your shrooms during the switch over and they are really digging what you are doing in a massive good way!
