| I notice everyone with these white PVC frames to support your tanks while you work on them. I realize these were made by a former member but if I can get some good examples with photos and dimensions, I think I can make one for myself. Alternatively, if anyone has a spare to sell, I am interested. I see that Glen B has one and I am interested in it and one of his Tiger 1's but I think he prefers a package sale. His package looks like a really good deal.

| The older hard PCV tubing is becoming nearly impossible to find anymore as it is now all the PEX Tubing which is flexible... |

| If you look through some of the older threads here on the forum, you can find the specs and materials needed to make one. Copper would be pretty, but heavy. And $$$$$$$$
