If it was necessary to add another coat at any point, it’s done with a rag, and it’s easy to cover the open top of the tank in film.

If you were worried, you could always use something formulated for food worktop use, I.e a Danish oil. Once the solvent has evaporated, the oil should polymerise, forming a hard layer, that won't be affected by water.The hood is going to be a good 10cm+ above the water - I've had an open tank before, and haven't had a condensation problem before - it's a big difference from a closed hood.
I don’t know what lights etc you’re using, but I’dWill then need to decide on the lighting regime to start off. Not sure about duration or intensity, so any advice warmly received.
Thanks. I'm please with how all the woodwork and plumbing has come out. There's still a bit of fettling to do but it's all pretty much working as planned - Just took WAY longer to do then expected!!Love the workmanship on the set up. The lighting well thought out🙂
