Great job so far! @Oceanbox Designs no problem at all. Its good for folks to know all the costs that go into making and selling anything. I am in the testing stages myself and that alone is costing time and money. It's been a wonderful learning experience and one I am happy to share with people as I go through it. We need to collaborate on an Oceanbox/NanoRox project and really create something unique! 😉 1 1 Quote Link to comment
This guy is extra salty Posted January 25, 2019 Share Posted January 25, 2019 Why do a conversion kit when you can build it for the same price? i built a few for friends and a couple of shops in my area 5g AIO 11g AIO Media rack insert Of of course these are all prototypes but I do this for fun on my down time at work Quote Link to comment
Tamberav Posted January 26, 2019 Share Posted January 26, 2019 @NanoRox Since acrylic expands in water, make sure to not make it too tight. I cracked a tank that way. Quote Link to comment

You can find people with this issue when they used acrylic baffles too tight in a sump. I am guilty before I knew. RocketEngineer sounds smart: http://www.reefcentral.com/forums/showthread.php?t=2500956 Maybe he is smart? Idk 🙂 I no /math derp 🤤 You may want to rethink just having one that silicone in just so you can have that space for the acrylic to expand a bit without water seeping through. However, if its not a peninsula style, then there is obviously no worry. Quote Link to comment

Thanks That's the plan. I just tested V.2 and it worked great but I have to make some adjustments. V.3 being cut as we speak. I'm getting there but its a slow process for sure. 1 Quote Link to comment
nanoreeFan Posted March 25, 2019 Share Posted March 25, 2019 Appreciate it sir, it's a great looking setup. Thanks for sharing your photos. A 5gal sump kit is another idea that might have a market while you are at it. 1 Quote Link to comment

It just did not make sense for me to continue for a list of various reasons. Quote Link to comment
