wish I buffed the acrylic tanks before I put them in...

Trying to get a 90G acrylic to cut-down and replace the 30 gallon

Need to clean this!

The torch fell off its skeleton and stung the heck out of this

got a big frag out of it:

I shouldn't be ticked to see those frag stands being sold; at least they left the logo on them...
They're Creative commons license but still...
here is a link for anyone who wants to print them:

I think I would be disappointed at least. Just owning a 3d printer doesn't make you a 'maker'. With a lot of today's printers you don't need to know much more than how to load filament to get a decent print. I suppose there is a little good in that they didn't remix the stand to make pretend it was their own design. Most likely they didn't know how to remix. Hopefully, their 'success' at reselling someone else's design will lead to them making original designs at some point.

While I have 'designed'--I use the term loosely since it is really more like fumbled-to-completion a number of projects I have never posted any of them. Most of them are specific to my tank. I do have few that I have considered putting out there but I don't really think they are good enough. Maybe someday.
 
I told you I put the lid for the 8 gallon on Thingiverse? Search Coralland or I can grab the link and post it here.

I think I posted it in the 3D archive thread and the Coralland test thread as well...

I have link. Just haven’t printed yet. Thanks!
Took the boy-child camping this weekend
 
secured my new 5' long sump!

all scratched up but that's how I could get it. Some of the scratches are so deep they wouldn't be buffable. Cant wait to cut off the top and think about the baffles. Terrified to try cutting this thing...

I was able to get 4 other tanks out of my basement in the trade. Though Its going to be in storage for awhile.

this is scratched to high heck. defn. not DT material... Not a great rock tank either for the small top holes.
 
The sump had/has some sort of paper stuck to the bottom of it that I am finding difficult to remove. Elbow grease and goo gone.... but its old so nothing is really working. got the bulkheads out but don't really have time for much else....

I think it's the stock acrylic cover sheets mine had it too but the guy that had my tank before me had it on a regular glass tank perimeter type stand os the bottom was bowed pretty bad
