These acrylic hinges finally came in from ebay. After looking at the pivot angle, it needs quite a large gap, the diameter of the circle in the middle where it hinges. Although I could replace the shower trim with a corner adhesive bumper... It would look super tacky. Although it was a waste at leas...

After lots of scraping, it is finally done! It is now time to resume ziptying egg crate with great difficulty as it's already in the tank. https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20191129/dcaff8b677866bf3eee86cb65ca182a6.jpg https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20191129/9fb9392ed907699a0d7bb5689fa9b06d.jpg Sen...

The malm dressers don't give a weight capacity on their website, either because it's too low to look like a good Stat to post, or they haven't tested it. If they didn't test the weight capacity, it's because they don't expect their products to bear any weight. That being said, 75lbs is being, distri...

Always.. Scrape away from you when working with silicone. I became complacent and ended up with a nice cut. I didn't have an issue before. This new silicone... Because it's much stronger, it's also harder to remove. Bu they, it's doing what it's supposed to. Sent from my ONEPLUS A5010 using Tapatalk

I so look forward to seeing it as you progress and I love reading about things I should avoid, as I am building/upgrading right along side you. Sent from my SM-G955U1 using ...

My most lovable kitty decided to use eco fiber as cat litter. How expensive. I didn't even think to cover it when I introduced them to the crab room.

OK, so the reason I havent updated on a while is because I got super frustrated and a lot happened in the past few weeks. 1. I got 2 new kitties! Just introduced them to the crab room and they're now exploring everything. 2. I got engaged! I now have a proud fiancee who will be marrying into 2 kitti...

I use side cutters to cut egg crate, then file the edges until it becomes smooth. Lots of filing haha.

If you're looking to see what size tank would be most commonly found used... 30gal is the most used in the fish community followed by 10.

For my tat in development, I had a back egg crate vertical 90 deg ziptied, and a "ladder" like motorcrab mentioned Long the pvc pipe to give stability so it doesn't waver. My platform flips on top of the pool as opposed to off the opposite side, but same concept. The part on top of the main part of ...

How large are your proposed pvc pipes and pool? I can help draft something.
