    You shouldn't be showing people how to build these you should be charging them to buy one from you! I've always been interested in how these coffee table aquariums are setup/maintained. I'll be watching your tutorial for sure. Thanks in advance!

    I've always been interested in them as well..... so i gave it a shot.

    Tutorial is very thorough, but some points, i refer you back to the acrylic tank build video to see specific points to working with acrylic.

    Other then that, i show exactly how i did it.

    Im not very interested in building/selling though. I often do favors for friends and build a sump, filter or tank for them however.

    I have something else being built now as well... something i have always wanted to try, and see how it works. I find that i learn how something works as i build it, as oppose to reading about it. So my videos will help everyone else do just that. Know exactly how to do something, so they too, can give it a shot if they would like to.

    This is a Vancouver Fish Forum, not a BC Fish Forum where people don't have a clue what a post office is.

    Very cool table. I guess the top is glass? Or it would bow and be scratched up pretty quickly.

    I would think most women would tend to like them, or at least just as much as the next guy.

    Top is acrylic, everything else is as well.

    I havent found that acrylic scratches that easy at all. If it does, i can buff it out. Bowing...... taken care of. You`ll see in the video. Although 12mm is not very likely to bow, it probably still will, so i took care of that.

    Have you done an acrylic buff-out vid? If not, that would be a cool vid.

    Can't wait to see the instruction video.
