    building a C2C?

    If I steer toward external, I wont be playing with Acrylic to this magnitude, an internal conversion I was willing to try my hand LOL. was going to play with some smaller acrylic projects 1st to get a feel for the how to there. I do hear much about CFI, so I would check them out if I went that...

    building a C2C?

    OHHhhh Ok, I guess I wasnt completely sure what a Euro brace was, does that change things in the idea of a C2C? or restricts internal vs. external? I guess the depth of the existing holes concerns me as well. if I do external, would that compromise the structural integrity of the tank as its...

    building a C2C?

    tough to get good shots, always something in way or a reflection that I cant get around. with the current low profile design, you can see the OF holes are drilled kind of low, compared to OF I have seen anyway. also those are 1 1/2 bulkheads in the holes that are drilled larger than the OD of...

    Acrylic aquascaping

    yeah I need to do that, get several acrylic weld applicators ( heard that is essential) 1/4 -1/2 got it, does bottom acrylic need a min thickness? I assume a thickness, thick enough to weld rods in a stable way. 3/8 -1/2 inch enough?

    Acrylic aquascaping

    I really like using Acrylic and the rods to do the rock scaping. from what Ive seen others do. what thickness acrylic sheet do most recommend? and diameter rods? is there a link or thread that explains how to go about this? (I know dumb question) there is always a thread on everything...

    building a C2C?

    has anyone built a coast to coast in thier acrylic Tank? the 260G I just obtained has 2 low profile overflows, but I am thinking about makinga C 2 C......is the work worth the benefit? Or would I be wasting time and money? one disadvantage to the existing OF's now is that they where built...
