Nope, this has nothing to do with robotics and is certainly under the "something else" category. But with things like an etchant tank and infrared therapy device in this area I figured I could post it, because it is very DIY. This project started when I saw a ZeroEdge aquarium at my local Aquarium Adventure, and had to have one. I knew I couldn't afford a real one, so tried to make due with a typical glass fish tank. With my first attempt I built a plexiglass box which supported the tank and formed both the trough for water and an enclosure for a secondary tank below (known as a sump.) This soon warped because it had to support the tank, and I discovered the obvious, that water weighs a lot. My newest design shown here is a massive improvement. The tank sits almost level with the counter, only a small black trough is below. Water actually flows underneath the tank to the back drain and then down to the sump. My current sump is just a plastic tub, but this setup is flexible, and I could even use a bucket placed a few feet out of the way as a sump and it would still work. In my video I walk though what I've done to keep the setup quiet and flood-proof.
