That looks like an impressive way to build a tank - I could have done with one of those.little bit of an update, got the tank build on the go. I stripped down my original tank to make it 9cm shorter, it took ages to clean off all the old silicone from the glass. getting the worst of it off was no trouble it was the traces of silicone left behind that sucked up the hours.
anyway, the latest on the tank building is in it's own thread, originally started nearly a decade ago, check it out here: DIY Optiwhite tank build
That's dedication/perfection, when it's a real pain to re-do, but you'll never be able to avoid that little "niggle" unless you do ! Been there myself. Progress looking good so far though.
Slots now cut, 6 in total about 2/3 of the way round the tube, which is plenty.
After a bit of maths and measuring and with some bends, I now have a pair of 316 stainless inflow and out flow pipes.
Still need to do bends at the other end of the tubes where they enter the stand, trim the outflow down and polish them on the mop.

They look great!
Standard pipe bender or did you make a form?
Amazed there’s no “flattening” on the tube although it’s quite a large radius I suppose!
What are you intentions of capping off the inlet?
