Was able to find a complimenting cabinet to match my DT Aqua one cabinet to house the sump, now I can easily fit a 28gal at 12"waterline easily, hopefully more. No need to make-do with the limited space under my DT. I just need to demolish the divider and install some additional support and also figure out a way to water resist the wood cabinet, I have some sheets of bitumen from my car project that might be exact for this.
Hopefully this week I can end this odyssey and start enjoying the tank again, all I do nowadays is read and read and read
BTW, I tried to look for Boracay pebbles #5 but apparently it's a bit hard to come by, Bulacan garden and Rona's have all run out of stock, anyone know where else I could find some or can you suggest another alternative, I plan to have 1-1.5" SSB only.
