The old frame surrounding this hang on the wall tank is thick and heavy stainless steel sheet. I am looking for someone that can help me make a lightweight frame from aluminum sheet that retains the look and feel of the stainless steel. ------------- Reefkeeping Tips, & quick, easy setup tricks: www.utahreefs.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=9244 Pay it forward - become a paid WMAS member

It was a horrible mess. Look at the upper left corner. Those scratches were deep and extended all across the entire front panel. Maintenance was a nightmare, even for a freshwater tank. The new frame will be removable to allow total access for reef aquarium maintenance. When completed, it will be a real beauty for 10 years to come.  <Edit> Thanks BuilderofDreams. Sounds like your specialty is to preserve the old look. That is exactly what I want, but the function must be greatly improved, hence the lighter weight and easy removal by hanging it on the wall instead of the tank. ------------- Reefkeeping Tips, & quick, easy setup tricks: www.utahreefs.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=9244 Pay it forward - become a paid WMAS member
