DIY zeroedge?

[richiewwhite]

Ok so Ive been thinking of building a overflowing tank and I want to know where people get acrylic work done. I need to get an acrylic tank made up. I want to do a cube maybe 24x24 maybe 24 high even or 20 high. so this way I can run one MH over the top and not have to much shadow. Anyone know where I can buy acrylic tanks or anyone make them I would like round edges or maybe even a circular tank.

Anyone else think of making an overflowing tank?

You could just buy a real zeroedge. We've already worked out the kinks. it's flawless. Our price includes tank, stand and sump.

build it yourself.

You could do it with a table saw, a router table, some clamps, glue, and some polishing compound.

Personally I'm lazy, and the thought of having to clean 8 sides of glass is not to my liking. I usually only clean the front piece of glass, anywho.

So a cool tank liek that would be wasted on me. but its great for displays though.

Yeah but you would have to call it a richie corner or something like that, I think there are patents and such you need to worry about

I've seen the tanks and spoken to the people who make and sell them, they are a lot more complicated than they look. To make one yourself could end up costing more than an actual zeroedge. It might take a few tries to get it right. but if you go for it good luck

How much do they run?

The thought of having to clean all of the sides of the tank, inside and out, seems like a PITA.

I found the prices. Out of my price range for a tank.

Even though I am a customer acrylic tank builder, I would suggest anyone who is interested in the overflow style tank to get a ZeroEdge instead of hiring me to make one. The price of the setup may be only a little more than your cost of raw material plus you ahve to setup an tool(which you probably will use only once in 10 years) to bend the acrylics.

I try not to mention ZeroEdge as a type of tank because these type of tanks have been available in many Japanese aquarium shows more than 10 years ago.
