Yes, I am absolutely going to test this outside before setting it up inside. I live in a South American country with a high level of unemployment. This results in a lot of people claiming to know how to do jobs that they don't. I suspect my tank builder is one of them. I would use a...

The "tank builder" is now saying he will make it out of 20mm glass. This should work, no?

It put giant scratches in the wood floor that I just refurnished a month ago. It knocked a whole in the stucco in the wall which will have to be patched and repainted. It tore a small whole in my brand new chair. It completely destroyed one of the small tables. There was about an inch of...
