It's the tiniest overflow cap in the world.

Have you tested this yet? Improves flow? If you'd still one I'd be interested:)
I haven't, my tank hasn't arrived yet. Found it through thingiverse - there's actually 3 different versions.... Once I get it here and tested I'll let you know. Took like 15 minutes to print.

Awesome, I barely tested mine, without rock, just to get an idea of volume so I could test a 7.5w heater I had. But in the 5mins it was running I could see that the flow was a bit weak. This will likely be a must upgrade.

Do you print yourself? Asking for a friend, lol

Tank shipped today, trying to decide between black blue or frosted vinyl for the back. I selected the black option for the tank itself, not white

I tried blue for the first time. I slept on it, but we'll see if I can keep it on there for a while. My first thought was black, but I do all my freshwater tanks in black.... then I thought purple. But then I'd be the weirdo with a purple background. Decisions, decisions.....

I also considered a random color, but I'd have to see how it does with the blue lights before committing...

I'm looking forward to seeing this, I thought i was being extra with a 9.5L pico. Keep us i updated! Maybe a build thread is in order :)
I know they'll be posting monthly updates on the contest thread, hopefully a bunch of users will create builds for it - it's tiny and quirky enough that I think it'll be interesting to chronicle and track the different challenges that arise for everyone.

Share your builds! I'll follow along. This is the 3rd tank in general that'll be running for me and I keep all 3 in their own threads for the most part, sometimes there's some spill over.

Hurry up and get it setup.
I'm going to be out of town for a week in September, so I'll put it together for size referencing for everyone, but I'm not going to actually fill it or start it until after I return from vacation.
