Need someones help with acryic

Danables · 09/16/2006, 01:03 AM

Hey whats up guys.

well i need someone whos good with acryic to make me two overflow boxs and help cut some teeth into the side of my tank.

two boxes H-20' W-18' L-6'

Then cut teeth into the side of the tank where the water will overflow into the boxes.

If anyone can help that would be great!

i made a quick drawing for a visual out of MS paint

Thanks Dan

Dan,
is the tank acrylic? has it been filled before?

If its acrylic and been filled it might be difficult to get a good square fit on the overflow box. The teeth and building the box will be easy.

The tank is acrylic and its in use. On the 25th im moving into another apt. At that time im hoping to cut the teeth and glue the boxes to its side. I figure there will be some bowing but that the boxes only need to be water tight along the overflow.

The teeth are not hard if you have a router and a dove tail gig. You might be able to find someone local to you to borrow. the box is very easy to make, if no one else replies I can make it for you, just pay for materials and shipping. I am not local otherwise I'd be happy to help. I couldn't download your image (Mac here)

Is there a place in PH that sells 60G acrylic tanks without having to special order?

Thanks
Vince

Well Vince i guess your the man for the job. So what would be the est. cost for the 2 boxes and shipping. are you looking to buy a 60g tank in town?

Steve,
I am looking for a couple of 60G acrylic tanks.
I will check the price for the acrylic and let you know.
have you checked with some of acrylic aquarium builders in PH? there is one next door to about the reef, and another one off of e-bay on Ray rd. somewhere.

I will check on the acrylic 1/4" and 3/8" in black and will let you know.
