Got a wrowdy wrasse? A bully blennie? Angelfish with attitude? Terroristic tang? Pesky percula?
Put 'em in the clink... the cooler... solitary confinement!
Seriously... this is a fish acclimation/adaptation box.
The translucent (vice clear) top is to make it easier on fish that might not like being inches away from high-intensity lighting.

wow. Amazing job russ. What did you use to bend the acrylic?
SDMAS Staff Member
I used a V-groove router bit & table-mounted router to make deep scores where I wanted each bend. One pass for the rough cut, then raised the bit about 1/32" for the final clean cut
Then I carefully & slowly heated the acrylic on the opposite site from the grooves w/ a heat gun, then bent and clamped it over a wooden form the proper thickness. The acrylic bent rather nicely right at the grooves. After cooling, I filled the now-closed grooves with solvent cement just for good measure.

Peter I think we all want one.
very nice craftsmanship. That is pretty cool indeed!
you have mad skill russ.

Thanks. My best skill, however, is positioning finished pieces for photographing so the fewest flaws are visible.
OK... besides a couple of cement bubbles, who can find the glaringly obvious (to me at least) flaw in Peter's acclimation box???
