Do you have access to the heat gun and acrylic cutter?
Decided to make the tank first. No leaks so the bracket will be next and should be simple.

UOTE="Engloid, post: 3741619, member: 12368"]I'm thinking if I can't get them for a few dollars each, I may just make something my self at work. I want something I can clip onto the side of my sump.[/QUOTE]

Here is what I made. I had bought the special blades to cut plastics. They didn't work for me. I ended up just using my regular saw blades and ran the edge across my joiner. The box that I put the relays in I broke forcing the plug in a hole that was too small. I had plenty of acrylic to replace it but wanted to see how well a crack would weld. It may not be the prettiest but it works. I am still practicing with acrylic but I like anything I build better than something I bought. It all cost under $10. Next week it will be time to make the reservoir.
