rsaavedra May 16, 2006 Share May 16, 2006 I'll try to make it to his house sometime this weekend and take pictures of his aquarium stand and canopy. Raf Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Larry Grenier May 16, 2006 Share May 16, 2006 We should invite him to present at one of the meetings. Set-up a show area and bring a few samples and lots of bueiness cards. A win-win situation. BTW be sure to let him know he is building for an acrylic tank, not just a glass tank. Glass = support along the edges Acrylic = support of most of the bottom Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Glass = support along the edges Acrylic = support of most of the bottom I think pictures will do just fine, he builds for glass tanks and acrylic. Don't expect him to be dragging cabinets around at meetings. He can bring business cards along. Raf Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Larry Grenier May 16, 2006 Share May 16, 2006 Don't expect him to be dragging cabinets around at meetings. He can bring business cards along. It was just a thought. If he's too busy and doesn't need the business then he shouldn't bother. If that was my livelyhood I'd do it in a heartbeat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rsaavedra May 16, 2006 Share May 16, 2006 It was just a thought. If he's too busy and doesn't need the business then he shouldn't bother. If that was my livelyhood I'd do it in a heartbeat. He is really good at what he does, however buildings stands and canopies at a reasonable price to help fellow reefers (he has a 150G himself) is what he does on the side since he owns a big construction/remodeling company so his lively hood doesn't depends solely on building stands and canopies. You shouldn't make comments like that without first getting the facts straight, and how do you get the fact straight? Asking questions first without putting your foot in your mouth... Capisce?

cbashaw May 17, 2006 Share May 17, 2006 Here is a very bad pic of the setup Alvaro made for himself. The quality of his work is top notch. I took the picture with my camera phone so it's pretty blurry. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
keeperofthefish May 17, 2006 Share May 17, 2006 That's enough for me to say WOW! Very cool. It looks like the doors swing out on the canopy instead of up. Nice feature. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
