Try closer to 40 lt when full full.
I haven't measured it yet that's just rough mental head calc,
It's internals are larger then the hobie one. And coz the cnrs are tighter bent there is more water room.

One of the reasons I'm making it so "sexy" is that I'm hoping when people see it first hand and working, they will want one.
I haven't worked out propper pricing as the battery system I use is quite pricey
$100 in battery alone, I was lucky I managed to get factory 2nds (cosmetic only)
For $1ea not $20 for pack of 4.
I love making money lol. If I where to make a profit I would sell them probably at the same price as the hobie units, $350.
Quick break down
Tank $130
Battery's ???? As I prob won't do NiMH again unless I get that same deal so say $40 for a sla
Pcb timer $35 ish
Ip67 connectors and caps $60 ish
Pump $50-60
Overflow gland $10
Auto on light $30
Acrylic hinges $10
Rubber mat base $15
Lid seals $2
Lid strap $6
Battery box $33
As u can see its not a cheap unit and at $350 I not make any, I think I would loose now that I looked at tll the prices.
I had alot of those other bits and pieces lying around here any way but knew what they are rough worth.

But on the other hand,'I believe this is a world first as the only total clear ones are called fish tanks and people have em in their house.
Closest I could find was boat bait tanks having a single clear window.
So if others where to have one it would take away my specialness.
I have ADHD and I think that might be part of the "I want to be the only
One to have one kinda thing". It sounds childish but that's what my ADHD does with my brain chemistry.
