Acrylic Seahorse Tank

**JustDavidP** · 02-27-2007, 04:11 PM

Okie Dokie..

Gustavo JUST picked up the full sheet of 1/2 inch CAST acrylic and the seahorse tank buildout is about to begin. So... here's my placemark

It's going to be 30 wide by 24 deep by 26 or so tall. I think I'll start with a drawing/cad plan. I'll have more to post soonest.

This is going to replace my 26 bow for the H. Reidi.

Very interested to see what you do. Am looking at doing something similar and tying it into my reef tank via the sump.

well dave, front row & ready to see a pro in action.
im assuming your talking in inches. nice size tank if it is.

Hey idea, you know when i took a field trip & posted from the melb aquarium, they had these kelp looking return outlets on their pony tanks. what do you think?

Those are neat!

Well...thus far, we've cut the acrylic. I need to go over tonight and use the joiner to make nice, clean seams.

I've been more than busy, working in Rhode Island and commuting back and forth. To make matters worse, my Aunt is not doing well. They've given her just a few weeks or so. I'll be spending more time with her as well.

In any case, again, the acrylic is cut and the rest lays just a little further ahead.

Cool Dave - can't wait to see what becomes of this beauty!!

Sorry to hear about your aunt...I hope she's not suffering too greatly.

Dave,

Sorry to hear about your aunt. I'll look forward to seeing your tank build when your life is less hectic.

Thanks all...

I have a rather large family, with little to no "generation gap". My youngest aunt is just a year or two older than my oldest cousin. So, you expect this kind of stuff to go down all the time. I could be at a baby christening one weekend, a wedding the next, and a funeral thereafter. It's all part of this crazy circle of life thing.
