Northern or Southern, i once delivered a 7x2x2 aquarium to a chap just outside Newry, then drove down to Carlow to stay with family before coming back home again. :)

yes acryllic is much clearer (something like 95+% transparnecy and yes it is also much lighter than glass but still is very easily scratched.) Also from what i understand it is not very well suited to bracless aquariums, i am not 100% sure on this fact but i am sure i have read it somewhere...

Thanks, for the comments, yes the aquarium is standard float glass. Personally i wouldn't have Optiwhite if you paid me, and i make them. The reason is,as i have stated elsewhere, it scratches for fun. Not that i wouldn't make anybody one if they requested it but i always try to point this out...

Brave me, that's not her in doors would say LOL, i much prefer calculated risk :)

Thank you, for the comments hopefully with practice the aquariums should only get better. :)

Apologies i think i ought to show how much of a bow was measurable at the full point.

final shots, decided to fill the aquarium until the water actually ran over the edge :wink: at the moment it is sat in the yard next door still full of water and i will be checking on it again in the morning. :D

it was at this point i heard a crack :jawdrop my heart was in my mouth i thoght that was it game over. What i found was that one of the floor tiles that i had been using under the pallet as packers to level it up (allbeit not very well) had actually broken under the weight. :o This one...

more pics all going good, although at this point i was beginning top think "is the twist in the base going to be the hercules heal of this whole thing?" Never a man to shy away i thought if you are wanting to test then why not in the worst possible setup fo the base.. :crazy: more...

Cheers for the heads up flying fish hopefully this will go well, please forgive the make shift stand all i wanted was somthing to get the base off of the floor. Funny thing is that i actually think the aquarium was twisted slighly left to right and front to back. So in effect adding even more...

After reading the not so favourable write up regarding my silicon work :oops: i decided that it was about time i put my money where my mouth is. So here goes... I decided that I would manufacture an aquarium with no visible fillet on either of the panels. On saturday i cobbled together the...

The best stuff i have used and it sticks and seals just about anything is a product called CT1 :clap: it is the dogs danglies, you don't even have to wait for it to dry, check out http://www.ct1ltd.com/datasheet.html?RycoID=9c1c588aab3d8a594bfd96b3289f7d6a and also have a look for it on...

Hi Strat, thanks for trying to big me up but i think it is about time i started to stand up and be counted, Hopefully the aquarium is still going strong. A few words in my defence Photos on my website are a testament of how bad and how little i knew right in the very begining when i first...

Photos on my website are a testament of how bad and how little i knew right in the very begining when i first started manufacturing aquariums. I never realised that they would come under such scrutiny, and for that reason you would of thought i would have removed them. Sadly i don't succumb...
