I had some extra time at work and I found some acrylic so
Acrylic + time = something for the fish tank (fish-trap)



Measure twice cut one !!

Good idea but with acrylic that thick you have a really good chance of smashing whatever you're trying to catch. I would use 1/4" thick at most and from the looks of it. You seem to be using 1/2"

Hahah I'm trying to catch them not throwing the trap on them :)
I do want a heavy one :)
I do have a small one with 1/8 acrilylic that I got on line but it really sucks! to small and with the strong current on my tank moves all over the barebotton hitting the fish tank walls and rocks making the fish not going in !!
