Pluming A Aquapod For A Chiller Or Skimmer

I JUST STARTIED SETTING UP A 24 GAL. AQUAPOD AND REALIZED I WOULD NEED A CHILER. I WENT ON LINE AND NOTICED ALL THE DIY'S DRILLED INTO THE HOOD. I DID'NT THINK THIS WAS A GOOD IDEA, AND DECIDED TO COME UP WITH AN ALTERNATIVE. I CAME UP WITH THE IDEA OF MAKING AN ADAPTER THAT WOULD SIT ON TOP OF THE FRAME AND BUY SOME HINGES FROM A PARTS SUPPLIER SINCE CURRENT MAKES THE PART. THE TRICK IS NOW MAKING THE ADAPTER. I THOUGHT ABOUT IT FOR A WHILE AND DECIDED TO CONTACT CURRENT AND SEE IF THEY WOULD SELL ME A TOP FRAME. THEY WOULD'NT . SO I CALLED M-----AND REEF TO SEE IF BY ANY CHANCE THEY HAD A BUSTED TANK AROUND AND SELL ME THE FRAME. TO MY LUCK THEY DID BUT WOULN'T SELL IT TO ME INSTEAD THEY GAVE IT TO ME AND ALL I HAD TO DO WAS PAY SHIPPING. IT'S ON THE WAY. IT HAS THE HINGES ON IT SO NOW ALL I HAVE TO DO IS DRILL IT OUT FOR THE PIPES AND SILICONE IT ON. THAT WAS EASY . I THINK THIS WOULD WORK WITH ALL NANO TYPE CUBES. WHEN I GET IT DONE I'LL TAKE PICTURES AND POST THEM ON HERE. I HOPE THIS HELPS FOR THOSE THINKING ABOUT THIS PROBLEM.
