I wonder how big it is. The price tag will be all in the name, cause they're isn't much cost to building that.

Yeah I know they are very proud of their equipment. Its my understanding that they are somewhat custom items that are built to your spec. If you know how to bend acrylic like that let me know. It always pooches (for lack of a better word) out at the bend points when I have messed with it.

I removed my post Steve since it looks just like my fry collection trap. This is different though. Looks very similar but definitely different once I read the thread on reefbuilders

Just heat it slowly around something cylindical and clamp it on til it cools.

Here is the one that I am borrowing from Jason Vossen Larval trap by VossenAquatics on Etsy. It does work but I have yet been able to collect the entire batch of fry so I am now going on batch #7 and have to figure a way to keep the cardinals away from that area. I had left the room for a little bit and when I came back there was a cardinal right underneath it where they go up into the trap so he had a very good dinner...

Cool little acrylic project there! On my long list of things to build, I would like to make one to keep some comb jellyfish in :) A bit bigger than that though, that is small.

Yeah I'm not sure how big of one I need. I'm interested in some of the pelagic spawners. Would be a fun project. I'm up for it as well.

Another acrylic day? :)

This time I'm gonna build something for real.
And it will be not a frag rack, can't see another rack. :pound:

Need to think about something cool for the Diesel tank..............Auto feeder holder, acclimating box with magnets, Anti jump barrier for the wrasses, shelf rack for Vertex dosser and Vertex 1 gallon Vessels, maybe a magnifying viewing box.

Frag racks lol.... i just got out of my shop and cut me up some acrylic to make a frag rack I have never seen before. I made a long 40" x 2" frag rack that will go towards the top of the tank that way it does not block view like the larger frag racks. I'll get a pic up soon after I go home and glue it together.
