So my daughter came to me the other day and said "Dad I'd like a Seahorse tank, can you build one?"
Whats a father to do? Well of course I can build one, but I want something unique, something that makes her friends go WOW! So I look around at my scraps of acrylic and think yep I can build that.
So I spent my last day of vacation today planing, building and thinking of ways to improve this design. Its almost finished just need to make a lid and watertest it. Then its time for rock and water and wait for a cycle.
I didn't want to build a square, rectangle or hex, I wanted something a little different. So I went with a Superman tank, I had seen one on a larger scale but figured it would be good for a Nano tank as well. I also only wanted one seam so I had to reach into my bag of tricks.
So here it is pretty much step by step.
First I laid out the design to make sure my scraps would fit the size. Then I cut out a cardboard template so I would know when my bends were close. Then I marked the acrylic for where the bends needed to be.
