Asking for some help with acrylic work ...

[dipan]

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 ...

Thanks guys. I was away for the weekend and I thought I had PM'd reefone before I left, but maybe that didn't go through. I've had that problem trying to post from my phone before. Anyway ... I'm going to try to reach Ram or Ace this week to see what we can work out. I want to get the fish room working and tanks filled with water!
