Hello, I'm doing my first build (a Triangle Li'l Beaver) and I've noticed that the tabs on the pots are more larger and seem to be better-connected than the tabs on the image of the pot in the instructions. I tried twisting the tab lightly with some pliers, and they don't appear to be going anywhere. Should these tabs be removed as well? Thanks in advance.

If you are talking about the tab on top of the pot, then yes, you will need to remove those so the pot sits flush with the enclosure. If your pliers won't do the trick, your clippers should.

I found that it takes a fairly heavy pair of cutting dikes to clip off the tabs on those mini-pots.
