You need to put it together as it's a kit. If you look around ebay you'll find some one sell one that all together and ready to go.

The price is cheap and if you think you can glue it together then it's worth. But if your going to put it together you can get all the parts from a store and it will cost you about $8-$15 to make.

Looks like you could build a cheaper one yourself.

It's not hard to do but if you have never done something like this before you may have problems and need to get more glue, he doesn't give you much. Also if you do try and put it together don't use the rubber band method go out and get some masking tape, works alot better and much easier to use.

I built one and used it for a while, work very well, then sold it to Kris who recently sold it to some one else.

I bought from them- you can see my ato water container I built from them. Easy to deal with- and if you need a custom size just send them a note and they will custom build one for you to your specifications. I needed a 9" X 9" X 12" container w/ a lid with a hold cut in the center to fit in my stand- cost me approx $50 with shipping- I have no idea how to cut acrylic and don't even want to try. Never glued before and had no trouble (took some time though) using the rubber band and tape method- no leaks on the 1st try! Its been 4 months now and its doing great.

I just ordered the same from the same usa, do you think i should get more glue before it arrive and if so what kind of glue will be used. I'm a newbie and can use all the help and advise. Thanks.

make sure you guys are using methods to glue everything at the right angles. if glued incorrectly the stress may eventually wear a poorly glued seam and cost a leak.
