DIY Acrylic Refugium
In the photo below, the back piece of the refugium is laying flat on the table. The side pieces are the ones on top of the pins and the bottom piece of the refugium is at the top of the photo, taped to the side and back pieces. Fold back and remove about 1/2" of the paper/plastic on the bonding areas of the back and side pieces. Leave paper/plastic on the bottom of the back piece and all of the bottom piece intact. Insert the balls pins between the side pieces and the back of the refugium and tape the pieces in place. The bottom piece of the refugium is taped in place (without bonding) to hold the side pieces of the refugium in place during bonding procedure. Before you start bonding, your refugium should look like the photo above. Next, with the Weld-On #4, bond the 2 side pieces to the back piece and remove the pins. DO NOT bond the bottom piece to the back piece or the side pieces. The protective paper/plastic should still be in place on the bottom piece. Do not move the pieces for 4 hours after bonding is complete.
