Tony, the windowed rubeermaid is just that....Marc just cut out a window and sealed in some acrylic. Pretty cool, huh?

So is the buyer gona let us in on who he/she is?

For those who do not know, I purchased the item which was for sale from Marc and Jamie.

The move is a little complex so it may take a few weeks.

Hey Tony,

The Tubs are made by Hagen, they are 50g goldfish tubs.

I used 1/4" Glass instead of acrylic to pevent bowing in the face of the tub.
I also Left quite of bit of "meat" for the silicon...the glass is almost as big as the whole inside face of that tub.

I had to sand the inside face with 60 grit for the silicone,and its strength is only good for pressure directly against the face...just like a glass tank if you twist it at all,she`ll pop!
But i made 2 of them over 2 years now with no troubles at all.

They are around $75 a peice.

HTH,

Marc, do you happen to have a link to those on hagen's site?

Tony, sorry if I had you running all over rubbermaid's site looking :oops:

"Laguna" matata (no worries), Brad 8)

Thanks for the link Sam.

I was looking at a tub from a hydroponics place yesterday, which would work OK but was smaller (60l) and had some "rippling" sort of edging in the side so I don't think it was a good candidate for a cutout window. Never thought about pond supply ... DUH ... oh well. :oops: :lol:

Tony, did you mean to say Hakuna Matata?

Yes, it was a play on words. "Hakuna matata" is Swahili for "no worries" or "no problem." 8) Of course after the Lion King, EVERYbody knows that .... ;)

Oh, so you've seen The Lion King, too huh? ;)
