Bonsai Posted July 18, 2008 Share Posted July 18, 2008 Picotope Owners, A few fellow Picotope owners have shown interest in the custom glass lid that I had created locally. I'm not referring to the one that I just sold - but the new and improved version that extends all the way to the back of the Picotope and accommodates the AC70 and the 2x18Watt Current USA Satellite. If you would like one of these, please respond to this thread and let me know. I'd like to gather orders this weekend and call the glass shop on Monday. Turn around time should only be a couple days, and they'd be sent out soon after. The cost would be $27.50 for the lid plus ... probably $12 shipping via UPS, plus $1.50 for PayPal Fees. I would like to request that those who are interested should PayPal the funds over to me by midnight on Sunday night so I can order these Monday morning. The lid looks fantastic on the Picotope, as you can see. It cuts down evaporation like crazy - I love mine. Orders Thus Far: diggman08 - Paid! xero404 - Paid! tylt33 - Paid! zoantsinmypants - Paid! Sedivec - Paid! shp111 - Paid! Disclaimer: I do not make these lids, I created a template from my own Picotope that my local glass shop uses to create the finished piece. The lids are made from 1/4" plate glass - and area all done by hand, so each piece is unique. Repeat: These are hand made so that each one is slightly different, and have minor imperfections, but over all they work fantastic and look great. I will package each glass lid well and ship via UPS - but I cannot be responsible for glass that is broken during shipment. All in all, I found a great solution to my Picotope evaporation problem, and I'm trying to share it with the community. Link to comment

Bonsai Posted July 21, 2008 Author Share Posted July 21, 2008 Last bump. If you want one, please let me know and pay by midnight. I will make a trip to the glass shop and order these tomorrow. Jason Link to comment
Zombo Posted July 21, 2008 Share Posted July 21, 2008 Bump for a cool idea! I have seen this in action (Bonsai and I are co-workers), and although he still "borrows" top off water from me, it's at a much more reduced rate! Link to comment
Bonsai Posted July 21, 2008 Author Share Posted July 21, 2008 The custom lids were ordered today, gentleman. Should only be a 1 or 2 day turn around time. I'll keep you updated! Jason Link to comment

Jason no, any way to order another one??, paypal can be now(5-10 mins) or tomorrow around 2 pm EST, please get back to me before i go to sleep. Link to comment
xero404 Posted July 21, 2008 Share Posted July 21, 2008 yay! now just waiting on a ac70 and a light to hit the classifieds! Link to comment

I replied to you ... but as long as you get the PayPal over to me before they finish the order, then you're fine. Just PayPal me right away and I'll make sure they can get an extra one done for you. That also applies to anyone else who wants in ... they have the glass order and are now fulfilling it. If you let me know tonight/tomorrow morning, I can probably have them cut additional pieces. Thanks! Link to comment

If we can put together another bulk order - I'll consider it. That is, unless I go to the post office or UPS and lose my ass on shipping these things... Link to comment
