My first calcium reactor was the "DJ88 Mark I" DIY model (old timers will remember this). It was a tube mounted on top of a rectangular box. When I retired the reactor and moved onto other DIY projects I scrapped the acrylic. I hacksawed off one end of the box and that is now my acrylic camera box.
 Acrylic work is super easy if you don't care about finessing it. If you have, say, Kari standards, then maybe it's not so super easy (unless you happen to be Kari). But if you have, say, Delphinus standards, it's not altogether too bad!

Keri,
Ocean Aquatics sells these--might be the same one that DrsFosterSmith has. I didn't find it on their website, so you might have to call them. It's sure to be cheaper than cross-border shipping. Regards, Nevin

Nevin,
That's a great suggestion, sadly we didn't call Ocean Aquatics when we were looking for an acrylic box...that was one of the places we didn't know about at the time (nor were we creative like Tony  ...good thinking Tony!). Wendell most likey has something like this or he might be able to get it in if he was asked.It is indeed more expensive having something shipped to Canada...yet having said that we were able to get some pretty neat stuff from Drs. Foster and Smith...it was worth the extra money. Sarina

I made mine. It is custom fit to the openings in the top of my tank. I use it all the time...not only for photography, but also any time that I'm working in there because it helps me see things more clearly.
 Wow..the tank has really changed since this photo was taken!
