Nice very nice
Hey I could pick you up a piece of blue flex board from Srry plastics before I pop over and drool all over the front pane

very nice. Now if only you can find places to put all of those frags

Always seems like the hardest thing to do when you switch tanks

Jack,

I can't mount the sea swirl on with the eurobracing. I guess I have to make some sort of attachment for it. I saw one on the sea swirl website that I'm going to model it after. Right now I just have some PVC plumbing on there to have the system working. Didn't you have a SS on eurobracing? How did you modify it??

Jim, I might be hitting you up for some vinyl. I was just going to buy some of that aquarium background but its such a PITA.

Christy

Very nice Christy !,

I want to see some more PVC though.

Ditto on the frags, i think you need to come for a visit...with a bucket `o those.

If you can show me the sizes, and how you want the swirl clamped, i can pop one together for you.

Marc.

Thanks Marc! You rock! But I beat you to it I sort of copied the one off the sea swirl website. Seems to do the trick. Nothing like some spare time at work with a chunk of plexiglas and a bunsen burner As you can see in the first picture there are some bubbly bits from where I wasn't paying attention (it takes a long time to get it to the point where its really bendy).



So I ended up making it a tight enough fit that it didn't need any screws to keep it in place (no I didn't plan that one ) although it did need a little chunk of acrylic to keep it moderately upright and not pointing down
