Default My rainy afternoon DIY project. Now with rev3 (the rimless model)

Sure a lot easyer than the little clips or a piece of PVC on a string.

Very cool, I think those could be marketable.

I agree, you could sell those. I'd buy one.

One idea you could try for a "version 2", make the attachment clip part horizontal so it it could work with Eurobraced tanks.

Nice work on the acrylic, I've never had much luck with bending acrylic. Either I heat it not enough and it snaps, or I heat it too much and it discolours (once I had it even bubble up a bit).

Fantastic idea!
PM me when you get some made; I'll take one (not the eurobraced version).
