Much units, very tabletop - Wow!

 

Really though - that tabletop looks massive.

 

Good eye!  It's Granite.

 

One of the best surfaces that is completely flat.  Very important when assembling of acrylic parts.

 

IIRC there are 4 of these in the shop.

And expensive for a good one. 

I'm a machinist and I chipped the corner on one a long time ago. 

Thought the owner was gonna have a stroke.

This is the scrap crate that gets sent to recycling.  It's about 5 Ft on all sides.

I would like to hear more about the InTank company as a whole.  Seems like an amazing success story @StevieT.

MD is interviewing us soon. Also @metrokat podcast from 2 years ago was cool despite the tech issues.

 

I'll see if I can dig that up.

Send me an email. Let me know what sized flat rate box and I'll fill it up. They may have one side with masking removed. They may have both sides still on. 

 

I use them on top of indoor planters.

We've sold around 5600 inTank manufactured products in the last 12 months.

Sold over 20,000 sheets of filter floss - most 3 at a time for the Value Pack.

We still make quite a few pump upgrade kits for the Red Sea Max 130 and 130D.  Problem is we buy bulk hose and it comes rolled up.  Hose sections with bends will cause the pumps to vibrate on the chamber glass so we need to straighten the hose as much as possible. 

 

We started with boiling water.  Then moved to a heat gun.  All took a ton of time and attention.

 

Late at night when making a bottle for inTank JR. a faster and more hands off solution came to light.  Shipping Jeff got a new work toy
