Great build/thread!!
Was wondering who did the custom baffles and lid for the QT tank? I want to build a grow out tank for my clowns and these baffles would be perfect if they can make for bigger tanks.

Yes everything you see custom I make.. I have a few CNC machines, enclosed paintbooth, Digital printers, 3D printers, lathes and countless other tools and equipment. I also stock almost every material known from carbon fiber, Brass, Aluminum, 3form and quite a bit more.

It makes the aquarium hobby quite fun when you get a idea and 2 weeks later you have this sitting in the back of your shop :p.

Very nice set-up! Guess that's why I hadn't seen anything like the dividers and the holder on the bottom of tank. Great idea very creative. Better than hanging needlepoint canvas on binder ends.

I bought two of these from Rural King, price was nothing special but shipping was free. They were drop shipped from manufacturer so took a while to get.

Thank you!
 
Love my Miracles tank. Came quickly, packaged well, and built to spec. The sealant on the joints is not quite as nice as I have seen on some of the more expensive tanks, but still top notch. You will not regret it.

This build should be pretty epic :) Tagging along!
