for that kind of money, you're looking at A DIY ac-70(or you might be able to go to 110). I like mine. Chaeto has only been in for 5 days, so not really sure how to tell if it's working or not yet, but it looks nice, the light is nice and easy, and cheap, and overall, it looks nice.

how wide is the AC70? It's probably close. If it's too big, the 50 might work, but now you are crowding chaeto room. I can measure mine at home if you wish.

If you have the tools, you can make one... Mine was DIY and spent $35... $20 for the acrylic, $10 for the bulkheads, and a few bucks for the PVC... Built it a couple days ago and letting the silicone dry... I have spare plexi lying around that I'll use for baffles but you can get a small sheet for like $8... Oh, and $6 for the silicone... (I had some lying around) So really all in all you can spend under $50 and make yourself a full size HOB to your fitting... :) That is, if you have the tools. All I needed and used was a jigsaw and drill... (That was only used to drill the initial holes for the bulkheads... I then used the jigsaw to cut the holes...)

Well Colin, you are in luck. The AC-70 is exactly 8-3/4".
