Simple- money.very nice build. This makes me wonder why so many people build plywood tanks when this seems to have less headaches. Example trying to waterproof plywood and seal in the glass.
Im not speaking from experience, Im just looking for more insight to diy acrylic builds. Considering building one myself
2 year update. Move #2. No problems so far, built like a tank.
Sorry I have not answered sooner, been awhile sense visiting this thread. Cost was close to 2K total including DIY filteration (skinning in Oak was costly). Not the best FTS try to get a better one later.
Recently upgraded the filter as well. Very easy and cost effective. Not sure if these will upload in order...
