This was just a test piece to see how well threads would turn out, I built a 700gal fish tank out of 1 1/2 acrylic 2yrs ago and it has never leaked so it should work good for this.

I'll post a photo when I finish the one for my case, the local supplier I get it from also has tube up to 5" which would make some cool Reservoirs.

Looks pretty good to me !

I'm making my reservoirs out of 2.5" OD x 2.0" ID acrylic tube with machined 2.5" OD Rod ends for caps.

Yeah thought about making a round one or something where you can see the water squirt out maybe next time.

Nothing special top is a fillport you can see it coming out at the top of the case where my water temperature probe goes into now

Nice !

Is that 1/4" acrylic ?

Also, did you have to use a router to get the edges smooth / square enough to make the box ?

THX,
Yes it's 1/4" acrylic just used my table saw which cuts smooth, didn't polish the edges though which would of looked nicer.

Wow that went together fast great job man. Im actually looking into building a custom reservoir. One question for you...How you drill the ports? as in what does it require?

Definitely a need for a "How To" with images and full details as to the equipment used, epoxy, glue, solvent, etc ... as well as techniques / tools that can be used for different effects.

Just got my router and bits today for mine ... gonna do some test runs first on some scrap 1/4" I have lying around ... then the real fun starts !

I second CrazyJoe's request. Could you provide some info on the different steaps you took making this? I am planning on doing an acrylic project later this yeat and I would be very interested in how you do this properly and safely. Very nice work.
