My 3d printed tank cover attempt isn't coming out so well so I am leaning towards ordering one from Artfully Acrylic but wanted to know if anyone here has gotten one from Advanced Acrylics? He emailed me back with a quote but when I asked for pictures of previous ones he has made, so that I can...

Looking for a pm1 or pm2 with or without temp probe. Also looking for a breakout box

I am selling my 24wide 15 deep 20high tank made my John at advanced acrylics. I used it for a few months but I don't want it anymore. there are no scratches on it. asking $80. pickup in oxnard or we can work out to meet at Ellis aquatics or aquarium city in Canoga park or aquarium connection in...

you look different in that picture, I like what you did with your hair. :becky: that thing is freaking huge! Looks like it could be used as a weapon

never seen those before, they are pretty cool. whats up with the limp one?

Has anybody seen one of these in person? I want to redo the flow in my tank and thinking of trying one out, but the size of it just seems so big.

awesome! Glad to hear that you got it worked out.

yea plumbing is expensive AF! When I did my build I had a spreadsheet with all the stuff I wanted but didn't think of the plumbing. I started buying valves and stuff and and it never ended. Luckily I only needed one spears 1-1/2" gate valve, unluckily I screwed up gluing the first one so I had...

This is the acrylic DIY thread! :sorry: Have you asked John @ AA if he can get you the colored pvc sheets? Also I meant to mention before if you hadn't ordered the chemtainer containers, JDEllis used to be able to order them. I don't know if he still does but he may be able to get them a...

Both Arfully and AA recommend polycarbonate over acrylic for this and AA recommended 3/8" over 1/4" for my span of 27". I don't know what thickness Artfully uses.

Do you ship?

that's a beautiful fish! I need to get my cover so I can get some wrasses! what kind of wrasse is that? I need to check this place out

His quote was a little under artfully price+shipping. so it might be even cheaper for you guys that dont need john to ship it to you. I just asked him a few days ago so not sure how long he has been doing them. I'm waiting in line for a quote when youre ready! :a12:

You shouldn't need grease, but if it works for you then go for it. good luck!

When I got a quote from John @ AA, he recommended/quoted going with 3/8" polycarbonate for my tank because of the 27" long span. he said the 1/4" wouldn't work as well.

Did you tighten them to where it cracked the glass?

It will just be covered in purple coralline over time... or in my case brown detritus :) but I would like to see some pictures!

LOL. Let me play around with it a bit and if I can get something that works well we can work something out. It will definitely be waaaaaay cheaper that the polycarbonate options.

hmmm... well yea I could print something that would connect together but I'm not sure how well it would hold up. For my tank it would need to span 27 inches. and I can print about 12 inches long, so that would take 3 pieces. I could probably use nylon screws to connect them and it will be strong...
