My acrylic scrap builds

Here are a couple things I made from my scrapys of acrylic when I made my new fuge. First I made a simple acrylic frag tray, it's about 4"x4" raised about 3/4" up with 3/8" holes drilled to accept any standard frag plug. I made 2 so I may put it up for sale if anyone is interested in it, it's just sitting there anyway.
The other thing I made was a probe holder . Since getting my Aquacontroller Jr. I had to think of a way for the probes to sit in the water. So I made a tray for them too. I made it with the idea in mind to make a hole for my heater as well. I just need to get a larger drill bit (3/4") before I finish that off. But the other 3 holes are intended for my temp, pH and ORP probes. What do you think?

 

looks great Mike, with the larger holes i use forstner bits, they work great for plastics...

 

Thanks Jeff! I just ordered a plastic drill bit from Tapp Plastics, it should arrive today. I also ordered about 8 feet of 1/4" acrylic to make my next fuge too.

 

Looks very good.

Thanks Kim!

 

Looks good I am also a Acrylic fanatic lol... you dont think you will have a issue keeping the heater to close to the temp probe do you maybe throwing off the temp a little

 

looks spiffy nice DIY's

 

Awesome job Mike, did you bend the acrylic yourself or was it that way when you bought it? Luna

 

I decided to keep the heater away from the temp probe after all, I have it near the outlet of my skimmer.
Thanks! The acrylic pieces, I bent myself. I made an acylic bender on a piece of plywood, I'll post some pics of that too. I'll take pics tonight.

 

i would love to learn how to bend the acrylic. i need to make a few things. please help me if you can.
