Gujustud Posted March 27, 2004 Share Posted March 27, 2004 One of the LFS near my home started to carry saltwater. They previously only use to carry freshwater. Since they're system has been up for about 1/2 a year now, they are starting to bring in more fish and inverts (snails, shrimps, crabs, etc). I've started to become a regular at that store (dropping by once a week or so), and let them know of some of the stuff I've been making. They asked me to make them a critter/invert holder that hangs on the side of the tank so its easier to pull out the inverts whenever needed. I was just going to make a real basic one, but since I had a little time, I went a little... overboard Instead of putting holes for the waterflow, I went with the design from my tank cover, and put small waves on the front, 2 sides, and the 3 inside walls. The wave slots are 1/16". The 2 hangers are also adjustable in height by 2". This is a shot without the insides. I made them removable incase they ended up getting a bigger invert, or more of one type, and wanted to keep them in a bigger holding area. And yes, the color is different for the middle wall. I ran out of acrylic, so I used some leftover polycarbonate. Bigger Pictures Here Obviously a picture of it in the tank would help. I'll take one next week. Link to comment
TroyT Posted March 27, 2004 Share Posted March 27, 2004 Very nice work. I was hoping you could tell me where you buy your acrylic and which weldon # do you use? Link to comment

Spencerx Posted March 28, 2004 Share Posted March 28, 2004 nice work, did you use a template for the waves? i assume you used a router right? Link to comment
Gujustud Posted March 29, 2004 Author Share Posted March 29, 2004 Nope, no router. My dad owns a CNC machine shop, where we both work. Link to comment
