Re: my 90g braceless/framless tank!! 36x24x24"

wow, I just realized how long its been since I have updated this thing! still no water in it (not suprising the way I tend to lag on things) but I have worked on the sump issues I was having! I decided to go with a DIY acrylic sump similar to the one I posted on page 2 (?). I thought parcticing on some scrap acrylic from a local plastics store would be a good start. So I broke out the old router and got to cuttin

I wanted to start by trying some overflow teeth since I would be incorporating them into the sump deign! heres what I ended up with on the first go round

ugly, I know!


second attempt, better but not good enough


Obliously I was going to need a guide, so my nephew and I came up with the idea of drilling a board at about 3/4" aprt and then using it to keep the teeth evenly spread





after every tooth was cut we could just move it out another notch to keep them even and straight


heres the final product after we got it down pact!!!
