my friend gave me a 125 gallon tank and i am going to drill it to make it reef ready, but i would like to install black overflows on it so the pvc pipes are hidden. if anyone knows where i can get black acrylic or point me to a direction to someone who can do this please post. thank you

I'm going to be doing this for my tank. Let me know if you'd like me to make one for you too and we can work something out.

do you have any experience making them? i found a website that has them but they are $110 each for 24 in high and need two. im contemplating ordering the scrylic off of ebay for the $40, pluse the weld on and silicon. Its probably going to be about $60 total.

Are you atlking about the overflow box or just a plain box cover? If you are close to Manhattan, there is a store on Canal street that sells variety of acrylic products. On the other hand, if you are looking just for a plain masking box, then why don't you simply made it from any color (or transparent) and then paint it black?

the actual overflow box, i dont want to paint it and then put it in the tank where it can be toxic to anything in the tank. my sister lives in manhattan and i go there often, i'll see if they can fabricate something for me. thanks

If you need fabrication, RichT is pretty handy with acrylic. Check with him if he would be interested in making something for you.
