Has anyone had any dealing with these folks?

I have a 125 AGA I want to drill 2 drains into the back of and I think these would work well with a drilled glas tank.

Any comments/suggestions?

I wouldn't buy one...that is such an easy DIY.

I thought it would be but I dont know how I could go about making the teeth....anyone have any ideas or the space/depth they should be?

I used a router to cut the teeth on the box I made. I first made a template with wood and then it was a breeze to cut as many teeth as I needed. As far as space/depth...I'm not sure, I just guessed. I figured I wanted them just deep enough that no mater how much flow the water line would not be visible beneath the trim.

Here is the thread I posted about the box I made.

No problem...if you decide to DIY and need help with anything let me know. I bought a piece of scrap black acrylic from Altec (see the DIY source sticky) for like $12 and the weld-on for anoth $8 I think. I can also gice you a hand with cutting the acryclic and making the teeth if you want.

Oh and another thing I did was make the bottom out of clear acrylic so I could easier tell if things had fallen into it.
