At the moment only available in Gray PLA. Designed for rimless tanks (can make it for any size glass, just need accurate thickness). Can also add any phrase you like in the front or leave it blank.

The feeder fits very snug but you could utilize a piece of velcro in the square cutout if you'd like but not needed.

$35 shipped anywhere in the US.

Getting there. Need to make some minor tweaks but it’s 95% there.

Ok here is final version. $45 shipped for both the bracket and feeder ring. As of now only color scheme is Orange/Gray or both piece Orange or Gray. I have black coming in a few days.

I only need your glass thickness and the distance from the top of the glass to the top of water surface to determine where the feeder ring will sit.

Instead of a ring, could it be a rectangle? I only have like an inch to go out.
 
Sure! I just need the dimensions and a picture or two
This is the way it’s currently setup but the issue I’m running into is the AFS moves when it opens. My secondary issue is the height as you can see. It’s sitting right above the air release on my overflow. I have attached pictures to give you an idea. Then we can go from there if you think that’s doable.

Is shipping to Canada an option?

Don't think it would be a problem, not sure how much shipping would be but if you send me your address I can find out.
 
Ordered one from OP, but asked him to customize it a bit because I have a mesh screen on my tank. He was super responsive and quick and the mount is well built and sturdy. I got my mount a few days later and couldn't be happier. Would definately recommend.

Notes: The feeding ring is just a cheap one I got off amazon. Also, the mount isn't perfectly flush at the front because the face of my AFS is a bit crooked from having dropped it a few times.

Awesome!!! Glad it worked out for your tank!

Hi, are you still making these mounts? Also, I want the bulk of the AFS to hang over the water, not the other way around, is that possible? Thanks!
 
Yes I can still make it. If you look a few post before yours I make one like how you are wanting it. PM the details
 
Amazing what can be done with 3D technology
