  1. Recent acrylic construction

    I had a special request for a large container to hold top off water for the 199-gallon sump I built. The customer requested two quotes, one for 1/4" material and one for 3/8" material. In the end, 1/4" was selected although 3/8" would have been the better choice.

  3. Memphis Frag Swap

    WTMRAC (West Tennessee Marine & Reef Aquarium Club) had their frag swap today. They rented a huge building at the Agri-Center, and it provided everyone with plenty of space to set up tanks. There were at least 15 individual tanks set up, some from hobbyists, some home-based businesses and a couple of store owners as well. There was plenty of livestock to pick from.
