Any details on plumbing? Pump model? Filters? What are your heating solution?

Hey,
Great build... Thanks for sharing.
I'm wondering what you used to coat/seal the join in the foam so it doesn't leak?
The dark coloured stuff... is that a liner? Or some kind of painted product?
I don;t suppose you would share the DXF for the foam?
Many Thanks

This is neat! If you include some written directions in the individual steps it will get more attention on the site and be possible to be featured. https://www.instructables.com/id/How-to-Create-a-F...
