Rehype Posted November 9, 2013 Author Share Posted November 9, 2013 Consider doing one yourself. I had one quoted out for 120. Instead, I had the acrylic shop cut me the pieces. I used weldon 4 and assembled the pieces myself. came out great and saved me some money. Really enjoying the progress on your tank! Thanks alot mustache...you know i thought about it but theres a good chance id just make a mess. Quote Link to comment
Mr. Mustache Posted November 9, 2013 Share Posted November 9, 2013 Trust me, I'm no DIY guy, but this was pretty easy. just googled how to cement acrylic and viola! http://s750.photobucket.com/user/october_76/media/DSC_0061_zps298aacca.jpg.html'> http://s750.photobucket.com/user/october_76/media/DSC_0062_zps11aa0552.jpg.html'> http://s750.photobucket.com/user/october_76/media/DSC_0050_zps9b337d30.jpg.html'> http://s750.photobucket.com/user/october_76/media/DSC_0052_zpsd9ab3a2e.jpg.html'> I wouldn't even worry about "making a mess".

Cameron6796 Posted November 9, 2013 Share Posted November 9, 2013 Can we get some "visuals" from you hype of what the tank is looking like even though its cycling... What is your plan for stocking since it's no longer scorpions? Have you added a CUC ? Quote Link to comment

Mr. Mustache Posted November 9, 2013 Share Posted November 9, 2013 Thanks alot for the visuals mustache you did an exceptional job. Now im really considering trying it the only issue is i want a lid. You are welcome and thanks for the compliment. I'm sure fabricating a lid would be no trouble. I will probably, at some point, make a lid for mine as well. Can't wait to see more photos of your tank. I saw an edgeless at reefapalooza this year and thought of your build. http://s750.photobucket.com/user/october_76/media/DSC_0043_zps5fedea58.jpg.html'> 3 Quote Link to comment

Though, I still don't believe in top cover lids. It ruins the aesthetic atmosphere. Rehype's by iscolymia, on Flickr 3 Quote Link to comment

What is your plan for stocking since it's no longer scorpions? Have you added a CUC ? Its definitely still bommie inspired. Im looking at traditional nano fish that ive never owned. I did add some scarlet and white claw hermits to take care of diatoms i plan to order some more as well as some cerith snails. You are welcome and thanks for the compliment.
