Productive weekend. I built a lid for the tank. Right now I have an egg crate covering for the opening. I might switch it out for plexiglass.

Great idea! Unfortunately my printer won't print anything near that big.

The lid is made of marine board and I used a router to notch/groove everything. It was a long morning of measuring and build jigs.

That's awesome, I was wondering how you made that. Nice work!

That makes more sense.
