Wanting to buy an acrylic skimmer stand. Listen up crafty reefers... :)

the easy part:
design on this one is super simple. The foot print should be 6.75" by 10.75" with the long sides open and the short sides being solid - basically 3 pieces of acrylic glued together with the biggest piece being 6.75" by 10.75" and two side pieces measuring around 6.75" by 2.5" or 6.75" by 2.75" depending on the thickness of the top plate (I am wanting the skimmer elevated 3" total)
If I had a choice I'd prefer 0.5" acrylic.

the tough part:
I'd like to have this soon. Very soon :)

Mine is made from 1/4" and is plenty strong.

I just picked up the most beautiful skimmer stand. LOVE it. Maybe I'll put the skimmer on eggcrate and use this as a display table for something. It's that beautiful :)
Lovely polished edges!

Actually I got it from Jack! (was just faster to respond lol) Plus the kids got to see Mr Jack's planes so that was an exciting perk. :)

Jack made my frag rack and did a great job. Now he gets to deal with me bugging for help on my frag tank :)
