Okay...updates. I finally got my 29 Gallon Dwarf Lion Fish up and ready. Just waiting a few more days for true silicone cure etc. Then I'm plumbing the sucka!
It's been drilled. I built an overflow box at Neo's house (two attempts
) and put said box in place. I now need to build a durso and the external plumbing.
I painted the back all black.
Whatcha Think?

You guys made the overflow wall? Do you know how much I paid to have one made to put in the 100g?!? I'm having tool envy. Great job.

It is EASY..
Measure, cut the acrylic sides. Notch the bottoms to fit the silicone bead already in the tank. Use the horizontal router table to cut the teeth, every half inch or whatever. Then weld-on the two sides together and after it cures, silicone the sucka into the tank... viola!

I guess mine was a little expensive because it was a single piece curved.
Y'all need to start you're own little store front... for those of use theat don't have routers and other fun stuff like that.

I did couple of overflow boxes with single curved piece of acrylic, it is a pain, takes to long to bend the acrylic, but can be done.

I'd be happy with the 3 piece Neo model :-)
