Yeah, was sorta hearing bits and pieces about that too. Nonetheless, it's pretty cool it landed in Vancouver. Congrats.

Did you build something in the back there to protect it?

ps. didn't know you were an animator. I nearly made to jump to Singapore too a couple of years ago but ended up coming to Vancouver.

So your an animator too?

I made a dry box out of glass. I would suggest acrylic though since the glass is a little heavy. I was lucky because the box sits (rests) on top of the elbox for the return plumbing. Otherwise the MP20 magnets are not strong enough to hold up the glass box. I have seen people use acrylic though and it does hold the acrylic in place no problem. I made my box 7" tall and its perfect. I think it's 4"x3.5"x7". 1/4" glass. Lots of silicone. Still makes me nervous but it did hold water, so I assume its sealed.
