Do you have any photos of how you bent the plexiglass?
Looking very nice, love the clowns.

Looks great so far, been looking for something to put my waterbox 10 on to raise it up some more for a while now. Just have it on one of those Lack tables now but its quite low in comparison to my desk. Is that stand pretty sturdy once you added the mod? Doesn't seem to wobble or anything?

Thanks to your build I decided to convert my planted Nuvo10 into a reef tank. Had nano equipment left over from upgrading my Nuvo20.

Yea! Most expensive part is the sand which I don’t have. I won’t count the ai prime 16hd since I’m upgrading the nuvo 20 light to a hydra 32. Really going to push the effort for some quality looking sticks.
Welcome to R2R, awesome looking tank!
This might ignite a debate but dude...I don't think you should run any media other than filter floss in your tank this early. Maybe a small amount of activated charcoal in case toxins get released by dying bacteria. DON'T GFO. I say this because your nitrates and phosphate levels should be allowed to climb and be steady at 5-15 nitrates and 0.04-0.15 phosphate. If your young tank runs too clean, you're going to allow something nightmarish to take over the tank such as dinos or Cyano, which will cause coral death. Dying dinos can also kill your fish.Quick little update for today, I decided to ditch the stock filter sock the waterbox came with and upgrade to a media basket. But instead of going and ordering one I decided to try to make my own since time is what I got a lot of right now. Took measurements cut plexiglass glued it with crazy glue and let it sit to dry for about 30 mins. Came back to test fit to only find out that it was about 1-2mm too wide. So pretty much I had to go take one side off shave it down about 1-2mm glue it back wait and try again. I made the center shelf removable as well for future if needed. While I was letting glue dry I went ahead and ordered some purigen and some polyester filter media. Not sure what to run in 3rd part in media basket so will stay empty for now. I Was also thinking about plastidiping it black to cover up the finger prints left by the glue, as I’ve read that once the dip dries it’s pretty much non toxic plastic. Instead I decided to just leave it alone and not put what I have in my tank at risk since no one is really gonna see it once it’s in the tank. Added media today, removed the brackets inside first chamber to allow the media basket to slide in, glad to say it fit.. bit snug but it’s in !

I've learned this the hard way. I've been battling dinos for months and just got control.
The way in which the microbiome battles it out over the first several months is quite amazing.
Was also thinking the same but from what I’ve read people say to keep low nitrates(5-10ppm) and I tested today and had between 15-20ppm
