AndrewSPS Posted December 20, 2020 Share Posted December 20, 2020 (edited) When Neptune doesn’t make a 3 chamber dosing container... you make your own. I’ll be using 2 of these to dosing Red Sea ABCD trace elements, no pox, and acro power. Acrylic sheets laser cut and bonded together. Each cylinder holds just over 850mL A trident waste container will be coming together next week.

crimsonvice Posted December 21, 2020 Share Posted December 21, 2020 Nice. Do you have access to the laser cutter, or did you have them manufactured somewhere? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plenty of options with the amount of acrylic we use in the hobby. I can make this style or any other within reason if anyone is interested. Currently I have gray with orange and white with red or blue crimsonvice 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndrewSPS Posted December 22, 2020 Author Share Posted December 22, 2020 2 sets of white ready to be made. I also have another gray/orange set I can cut and make. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndrewSPS Posted December 22, 2020 Author Share Posted December 22, 2020 If anyone is interested in one let me know. I’ll let the ones with the plastic already peeled back go for cheaper. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I get all my clear acrylic and cylinders from them. Saves on shipping. All the sheets I get shipped in as they don’t offer a wide range of colored acrylic Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Waffen06 Posted December 24, 2020 Share Posted December 24, 2020 Are you only able to do the cylinders? Just wondering I've also been looking for a new ato, tired of using a plastic jug lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just wondering I've also been looking for a new ato, tired of using a plastic jug lol As of now yes. Bonding acrylic sheets is another ballgame of perfection. I can do smaller sheet projects that don’t require a perfect bond. (Photo boxes, acclimation boxes, etc) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joe Posted December 29, 2020 Share Posted December 29, 2020 This is awesome. Some amazing work. I’m very interested in info on the laser cutter you are using. And if it can be used on other material other than acrylic. AndrewSPS 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And if it can be used on other material other than acrylic. Cheap Chinese laser. I already have a larger one in order. I outgrew this one pretty quickly. I can cut up to 1/2” thick acrylic pretty easy with this one but the size area is limited. I have cut a few things from wood but nothing crazy. I started cutting a couple dozen inserts for the frag cups I buy. I pick these cups up on Amazon for pretty cheap. If you catch a sale you can grab them for as little as $1.20 each.

AndrewSPS Posted January 6, 2021 Author Share Posted January 6, 2021 I do have some projects I’m working on this week I’ll share once completed. One is a custom c02 scrubber. Coming together very nicely and will have a twist lock lid on the top. I’m more than willing to do some custom pieces. I’m doing a very large order of pink price flags for a store in New York that should stand out in their tanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndrewSPS Posted January 8, 2021 Author Share Posted January 8, 2021 Busy day of frag plugs. Over 300 going out this week. Photo box made from matte black acrylic coming tomorrow. Bonus is a magnetic mount with it for easy moving. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fishoutofwater Posted January 8, 2021 Share Posted January 8, 2021 Your killing me. It’s got me shopping for a laser cutter. Lol. I’ve been tossing around for awhile getting a 3D printer or a cnc router/laser. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
