absolut_racer Posted April 18, 2010 Share Posted April 18, 2010 I am looking for something that will mount to the inside wall of an aquarium to hold small inverts while I build out another system, perhaps an acrylic breeder/isolation container? Please contact me if you have something that may work, including details and asking price. Thanks in advance! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tmelhiser Posted April 18, 2010 Share Posted April 18, 2010 What size mesh are you looking to use? If Egg Crate size is acceptable, I have an idea. If you are a bit of DIY'er, you might be able to use Egg Crate, some super glue from Home Depot and Zip ties. You could glue up an HOB cage. Total cost of that should be less that $20 bucks. Build the box and lid with zip ties: <ASCII Art Stinks> Super glue the HOB portion. Making it all out of Egg Crate. -t Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tmelhiser Posted April 18, 2010 Share Posted April 18, 2010 Ok, a quick model of what this thing might look like. Using zip ties to make the box portion and super glue the HOB part. Make note that the back panel would be all one piece. Only two seams would be glued, the portion that hangs on the rim of the tank. You would zip tie it as well as glue it, to relieve stress. -t Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
absolut_racer Posted April 18, 2010 Author Share Posted April 18, 2010 Wow! Thanks for the idea, and you're model is awesome! (Speaking as a CAD person...) I will definitely try this out! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tmelhiser Posted April 19, 2010 Share Posted April 19, 2010 Take a snapshot when you are done. I would love to see how it comes out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lemonyx Posted April 26, 2010 Share Posted April 26, 2010 Or you could use one of those freshwater breeder cubicles - forgot what they're called but it's just some netting over a plastic cage. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
