Yeah, I have wore the stores and internet out looking for the right box. I think you have found it but damn...70.00 is too much for my test cell. If I get things going good for a sure thing then I might get one of those.



EDIT. Mike, I looked at that again and it said matching lid? If that is the case it wouldn't be clear. Some people are using the plastic electric boxes, works great for some designs but you can't see whats going on inside.

I build clear cells, I think I am pretty reasonable in prices. Shoot me the size you want and features you wish it to have.

Stratous, do you have any basic pricing for your cells? I'm looking in to a more vertical enclosure, about 4x4x8. What material do you use?

If you want a polycarbonate box that is 3/8" think @ 4" x4" x8", just the box with no hardware, your looking at about $65 + shipping.

A complete cell that size with 3"x7" SS plates configures as +nnn-nnn+, a removable lid, a 3/8" x3/8" hose barb, and a brass filler/drain cap. Will run about $160.

If you want a bubbler that is 2" x2" x 6" it will cost an additional $12.

Thats about as cheap as I can go.

Thank you for the quote. I will definitely keep it in mind. I'm still wasting time and money trying to build my own. But I'm gaining valuable experience along the way.
