I need to make the little thing that clips to the side of my tank that holds the little float switch and water tubing. I have something similar to this float switch - http://cgi.ebay.ca/Liquid-Water-Level-Sens...id=p3286.c0.m14

Any ideas? i tried bending some acrylic and drilling holes but its hard to get the measurments right while bending the acrylic with a light or candle.

Look in my tank thread for an idea.

Mine is just a piece on plexi I heated with my torch around the rim of my tank...

Be careful how long you have your fill tube, if it goes under the water line you could cause a syphon that could take out quite a bit of water.

Here is mine. It is sewing mesh made into a tube I just used fishing line to fasten it to its self. the float switch uses its lock nut to attatch then i bent some .25 plexi to fit over the edge.
