I'm in the middle of my build for the past year or so. Hopefully it will be done soon ... I find myself thinking that a lot.
Anyway, I need to find out if anyone has some time to help me with some acrylic work. Mainly need to modify my sump with some small acrylic pieces and rebrace a frag tank so that the 6ft length of it doesn't bow out 1-2 inches like it was doing. It holds water fine, but with that much bowing I was worried about excess stress on the edge seams. It has some segmented non-overlapping 1/4" thick by 1.5-2" top edge (euro)braces on it now that don't seem to be doing the job. The walls are 3/8".
If anyone knows of someone who could fix this stuff, please LMK. I know Ace does/used to do acrylic projects for MAASTards, but I'm sure he's pretty busy with MAAST governance. Otherwise I've heard Reefone?
I need to get these two things out of I'm guessing a dozen other things sorted before I can go on to the next stage with the cycling of the system. The sump's filled with water, though I can probably pump that into the display soon, but I'm not sure I will be able to remove it particularly easily, so the work will probably have to be done on site ...
