Gauging interest: Advanced Acrylics ATO reservoir GROUP BUY

[reefes pieces]

Just contacted John at Advanced Acrylics regarding doing a group buy for ATO reservoirs. Hopefully we can get enough buyers to do this. Need at least +6 buyers. Once orders are paid, I was told to give 1 week to build them. His shop is in Ontario for pick up or I can pick up for anyone in Temecula/San Diego areas. Also he said he can ship anywhere in California for additional $20-30 depending on size (He said $30 shipping for 6"L x 24"W x 24"H, then $20 shipping for the smaller sizes).

There was a previous group buy a little over a year ago that was built with 1/4" thick acrylic but he recommends 3/8" for sturdiness. But if you want 1/4", he'll build it. Well here's the pricing list.....

***3/8" Thick. CLEAR acrylic. BLACK bottom and flip top. (Add extra $10 if you want all black with viewing window)
- 6.5gallon 6x16x16 = $90
- 10gallon 6x20x20 = $120
- 15gallon 6x24x24 = $160

***1/4" Thick. Black acrylic with viewing window.
- 5gallon 5x16x16 = $75
- 10gallon 6x20x20 = $100
- 15gallon 6x24x24 = $140


***UPDATED LIST OF BUYERS
Here's the list so far of possible buyers...

1) KarL
2) Reefes Pieces - 3/8" all black acrylic w/viewing panel. 10gallon 6x20x20.

Maybe
5) Justin
6) Bad Santa - sump?
7) LL Cool Reef - sump and ato?

Think thats $140 Shipping included $120 + $20 Shipping

 

[KarL]

Think thats $140 Shipping included $120 + $20 Shipping

It's an additional $10 for black acrylic with viewing window. $130 + $20 shipping.

Or

$120+$20 shipping for the 3/8" thick 10 gallon ato using CLEAR acrylic. If you would like to purchase one, let me know and I can send you the paypal info. Thanks.

Looks nice but that hole in the back is a little small. I know its big enough for the hose but how are you going to run the power cable for the pump that is going to go inside? When he built mine it had an 1" hole at least.

I'm running an aqualifter for my ATO pump, so I'm just feeding airline tubing through it. This was at my request only. Everyone else's comes standard with the 1" hole.

thanks for posting that Damian..I, too, will be running a Jbj ato with aqualifter pump so this works for my application also.

I just moved the ATO resevior to the closet and it's holding 10 gallons. Now I can forget about it for two weeks!
