Doubt it, it's thin and obviously brittle. I hardly put any pressure. My hand was a bit to big getting in the compartment.

There is nor pressure in the sump, so you can glue it with Acrylic glue- I use IPS #16, and any small leak doesn't matter. BTW I thought you were going to go the plywood route- should have taken the stand:)

I had one already and don't trust wood with 3" inch overhang on both sides. I was going to cut 2" inches off bottom of baffles and glue into the 29g.

This whole thing seems like a fruitless effort. Told the wife don't ever ask me to get nems again.

It is not hard. I did tow huge rooms with Pergo 10 years ago. The biggest issue is the modeling. You can take it off and cut shorter once floor is down or there is a tool to measure the flooring thickness and then cut the molding while still attached. Luckily my cousin had this tool. Next year I will be doing the bedroom floor but also replacing the molding .

What's your plan for filtration

A sponge filter........HAHAHA

Considering a HOB skimmer as I had a 45g doing that with no issues. This will be minimal inhabitants so not sure what I want. Need to get a new heater, just ordered, as I gave other one to my stepdaughter. Some people have offered skimmer but like I said not sure and don't need it yet. I have to add salt once heater arrives and start the cycle.
