Viparspectra is cheapest and performs closest to the radions. Only down side is you can't daisy chained them.

Seal it at least. Even if it is a clear.

I always do my bare wood stands with tractor paint from tsc. Will never flake, fills holes and is tough as nails. Stinks to high heaven, so has to be dried outside. But about indestructible. Figured if it was strong enough for my A/C diesel tractor it would be strong enough for a stand.

Do it.

But seriously. It is high VOC. Dry it outside.

Do it.

But seriously. It is high VOC. Dry it outside.

For sure I'm going to definetely seal mine up.
Frank's got me rethinking my whole reef life right now. I may just scrap my other 2 tables and go with 4x4 deep.
Idk why he had to go and do that!
I could fit 3 of those along my wall Frank. Love the straight sides and depth too. Depth is major flaw in my design. I should've built smarter cause it has to work alot harder than it should.
