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

Looking good Paulie. Hope you and your family are well... love seeing that alien in a shell you have ;) it's crazy big...
 
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?
