I used the dsign from melevsreef.com as well. Worked great. Although i admit my first attempt was flawed big time and pretty much exploded. Seams fell apart and water went everywhere. But a little superglue, 1/4inch acrylic and a little time, and boom, i had a new one built in no time. That work has worked great since. No leaks. I Do reccomend you practice melting some scrap plastic or scrap acrylic with a heat fun or propane torch.
