Overflow build
Freshly cut piece
http://nazerine.reefbc.com/photos/041609/P4160004.JPG Clamped into handy work stand ($15 canadian tire), going to heat up with heatgun and bend 90 degrees http://nazerine.reefbc.com/photos/041609/P4160005.JPG It needs to be hot hot hot. Used insulated gloves to bend over once nice and hot. Slowly and evenly heat both sides. Over bend it just a bit, acrylic rebounds back as its cooling. Clamp or hold in place as it cools. http://nazerine.reefbc.com/photos/041609/P4160006.JPG Tada, overflow! http://nazerine.reefbc.com/photos/041609/P4160007.JPG Return, drain, and backup drain (3/4 bulkheads from BRS). Going to drill a hole through the side of the overflow without teeth for the return, once I've dry fitted the plumbing. http://nazerine.reefbc.com/photos/041609/P4160010.JPG I may have cut the teeth a tad too low, but I can just install a piece behind the teeth to adjust the water height. It will be much better once siliconed, and back painted black :mrgreen: http://nazerine.reefbc.com/photos/041609/P4160011.JPG It's a standard 20g high |
nice!! how did you get those nice overflow slits in the acrylic?
|
Very cool !

He has a CNC Router. The $#%^@@#! But that's ok, because at least I know someone with one!!!! :D
I've seen his stuff in person too, great craftsmanship! Thanks for the overflow (not the one in the picture)!! :) |
That is really cool Evan!!! More pictures of the build please. Are you going to bring my clownfish home when you are ready and make him a superstar? Would be nice to see him go home to you since you taught him to swim through hoops.
