This will be a hands on DIY Meeting and will be an all day event. Last years DIY Acrylic build was a lot of fun, don't miss out!!!! Build anything from a Skimmer, frag tank, frag rack, Kalk reactor, media reactor, travel viewing box, or whatever else you can think of.

Hope to see everyone there!!!

Seeing as it is an all day event... Care to make your grill available Ed? I'm thinking I'd like to bring some Wisconsin beer brats to throw on the grill for lunch.

I plan on building several items,

Frag Tank Display for Frag Swaps
AVAST CS-1 Cone Skimmer
DIY Acrylic Sump
Balling Chambers for dosing pumps (easy to do)
Bulkhead Wrenches (easy to do)

Ed has offered to cook some brisket, but would appreciate a donation. It was some great food last year.

Anyone have the ability to route and possibly polish? I want to replace the cover on my solana with a 20x20 piece of acrylic and need to cut a bit from the back and then route out about a 12 x 12 center for heat exchange, and possible build some sort of support for my led light bar for the top of the cover.

This might be a good idea and help move things along.

I am looking forward to this event again. We had a great time last time and I have another project planned for this one. I can't wait.

Let me know what food or equipment items I need to bring. I will donate food or money towards food.
