Default Gauging Interest: Social acclimation box [Updates]

Not sure how many of you have heard about social acclimation box.

I'm about to add my last few fish to my fish tank and came across a thread regarding a social acclimation box. I believe I will need one of those for my last few fish and decided to look into building one.

I have finished building my first unit and have extra materials left for a couple more. I can build another acclimation box between $30-$45 depending on the size of the box you want or size of the fish you wanted to put into it. While these will not be in commerical quality, I can guarantee that they'll be very well built and functional.

I'd like to find out if any of you would be interested. These will be built with lexan which is much stronger and break resistant than plexi / acrylics. I have attached a few pictures of some prototypes

Please send me a PM if you are interested in one and what dimensions you would like. For your information, my first prototype is approx 4" wide x 6" deep x 14" long.

This one is the one that inspired me, hangs on the side of the tank for easy access.



Update: Images of the prototype

Smallest size box (Note the top hanger part is adjustable through strapping at a different height)


Medium size box (my first prototype)


Largest size box (Base on the clearance of my 180 gallon tank braces, scale to provide decent space for a medium size tang or angel, unfinished product, still needing hanger part)
