Hi,
It's been a while since I've posted, or had an aquarium due to moving around, etc. Duno if anyone recognizes me.
I have recently signed up to return to college for a Mechatronics degree, I have been doing some 3d printing via Reprap, and working.
At this point, it's just an idea, and I'm on the second floor of an apartment. I do not know how much this building could handle, as it's an older building but I was thinking maybe a 15 or 20 gallon build, and have sent an email to the company that owns the building (which generally has a no pets policy) requesting if its even possible (which is why its still potential, if I have one, I want permission)
The thing is, since I'm on the second floor -- and I have had an aquarium blow a seal in the past and leak water (luckily I was still awake and heard it leaking and managed to clean it up before it did any damage) -- what are some potential ways to catch any water leaks? I was thinking about building a box, either out of metal using the shop at work off hours, or plywood coated with something.. Any ideas?
