where did you get your acrylic from and how did you bend it, cut it? Like, what tools did you use?

Thanks. Clean is what I like. As we know these tanks can turn in to a mess with all the wires.

This is 1/4" foamed PVC in black. Purchased off Amazon. In earlier post I think I gave the size an price. 4x2'. I bent it with a heat gun an warmed it up very slow so it don't get heat bubbles. To cut it is very easy. With just a razor. After a few passes you can cut right through. For the overflow I used a Dremel.

Here is how I hung my lights. They are about 10" off the water. I still have to finish my wire tuck for the lights yet

It looks a mess right now. But I'll clean those wires up. The lights up top are just there for storage for right now they do not belong to this system.

Thank you for telling me your process. I think I'm also going to build my over flow on my tank as well

If you can build a overflow that is the way to go I'd say. As you can make it the way you want it. An with the foamed PVC it comes in other colors. It's only a fraction of the price acrylic. You could bend I with a candle if you don't have a heat gun.

Luckily, the house I bought came with a heat gun and other cool things in the garage and backyard

Very well thought out build looks great following along. Are u keeping the frag tank for personal or do u plan on selling once they become colony’s?

Jason aguila · Oct 31, 2018

I still have to make my frag racks. An get the water cycled.

I plan on doing a bit of both as I have been selling frags for a few yrs now. But I ran out of space in my main DT. Plus I don't like the look of frag racks on my DT
