@Yankeepete

 

I sent you a PM and I believe you read it.

Do you think you could work on an AIO for my tank?

I don't mean to rush but If you can do it then I might not pull the trigger on a eshopps sump/fuge setup,

All depends on what you think, design, price point and ETA.

 

Please let me know.

Regards

An AIO for the Mr. aqua tank would be pretty straight forward. I am not sure of it's dimensions but it would put most likely it would be in the $40'ish range.

Oh ho ho! An AIO ADA or Mr Aqua tank would be amazing! I'm thinking of upgrading tanks and this might be what I'm looking for.

[jeffvmd]

...I can be the first to request the AIO add-on for the mr. aqua 12G long owner's out there.

 

What do you think. Possible to do? Let me know if you need the dims. PM me if you need to.

 

Glad to hear your new born is back home before Mothers Day! Keep up the good work too.

 

Edit: Dims

Hydor Pico Evolution 1200 (tiny footprint good power)

 

This I'll have to see as I also have a MR Aqua 12gallon long reef running right now.

If you have calipers that big give it to me in millimeters that would be awesome!

You need to get a stand that fits your tank, that looks like a disaster waiting to happen.

you are the 2nd person who has mentioned that lol. I feel it is fine, BUT I do plan on stopping by Home Depot and getting some plywood cut to spec soon, then primed and painted black to match the Gorilla stand.

 

@Yankeepete - I'll get the ID of the tank today if I can find my calipers!

Mr Aqua prior June 2010 Inner Dimensions [Tempered Base]

WxH = 7 15/16" x 9 1/4"

 

(7 15/16) inch = 201.6125 millimeters

x

(9 1/4) inch = 234.95 millimeters

 

 

Mr Aqua Post June 2010 Inner Dimensions

WxH = 7 15/16" x 9 3/16"

 

(7 15/16) inch = 201.6125 millimeters

x

(9 3/16) inch = 233.3625 millimeters

 

Calipers were not long enough; used measuring tape.

Maybe some else can chime in and double check my calculation too on their own mr aqua.

Mind you that mine was mfr. before June 2010 which has tempered bottom and I believe thinner bottom glass too. Post that date they are all non-tempered with thicker base bottom is what I believe.

 

So basically depending on when your tank was mfr. prior or post June 2010, your tank height will probably vary +- 1 to 2 mm.

 

I have sent an email to Mr. Aqua about this and lets see what they have to say.

 

BTW I wonder how deep should the AIO be? 3"? 4"? And how about spacing between each chamber? Hmmm

 

Update: received confirmation of actual dims per Mr. Aqua Rep . Let the fun BEGIN!

[grmoore]

PM sent about your skimmer boxes.

[jT415Gz]

ATTENTION fellow nano-ists!

 

We need your opinions ASAP!

 

As far as designing an AIO for the Mr. Aqua 12G Long Rimless tanks.

What would you like/love to see implemented into the design??

Please, speak freely as this is your moment to speak your minds eye and show your imagination and creativity to this potential next build Yankeepete may take on!

 

We all already know how great his craftsmanship is which has already been proven by many of you who own his work. But how about giving him some ideas on where/how to start?

 

I guess I'll start idea #1.

 

1) Create an adjustable overflow panel to control the DT's water level, probably being held in place by a magnet.

 

What do you guys think about how deep the AIO should be - 2", 3" maybe 4"?

AND, what about spacing between chamber compartments; how much should be in between each section?

 

Remember, sharing is caring, don't be shy. lol

So...here is another project out of the way.....20L AIO drop in Media Basket.....

 

 

 

Next up is the 20L AIO center back wall unit for Gabe and then the top lid for the 40B/40L AIO's!

[YankeePete]

Ooops...I finished the 5.5g end wall AIO last night as well....

 

 

After all that has happened since I listed the first 20L AIO for sale I can't believe the response I have received for parts and custom work. I am thinking hard about putting a website together and becoming a vendor here on Nano-Reef.com!

[reefriot]

Got my 20L AIO and my custom overflow box from Tim yesterday. Great job. I was really impressed with the amount of work on the overflow box. Thanks again Tim. Now I want a media basket for my 20L kit. here's a couple of pics of the overflow.

DO IT!!! you are running a small bussiness already, you just need a logo man I will support your products as much as possible, IM SOLD!!!!! Next product you should be working on: a t-shirt "I love YankeePete" LOL

 

 

I would love to get an AIO kit for those MR Aqua frameless tanks.

 

Good Luck

[jgpico]

You definitely need to start a website so you have an easier way to take orders and keep track of everything. Might as well start cranking out a couple of everything you offer before once people find out about the quality stuff you're making they will be flying off the shelf! Thanks again, and I can't wait to get my 5.5 unit in.

[jedimasterben]

Took a measurement tonight and the glass on my 55 looks to be less than 1/4" so the magnets should work . I'll have to order some next week.

 

I'll measure the filter as well, if you think you'd be able to make the skimmer for it.

 

Thanks

55g tanks are made with 3/8" glass, not 1/4".

Interesting...I measured the seam and I swear it was less than 1/4". Probably measured wrong or something if that is the case..

Nope, unfortunately not 1/4".

[ccapasso]

Nope, unfortunately not 1/4".

 

 

Well damn. I was really hope to order some of those mini frag racks....

[YankeePete]

I wish I could remember everyone who have asked for them but I spent some time today and finally made up a larger 11 frag frag rack. It is held with two magnets in the tank and of course two on the dry side....
