    an acrylic box LOL.
    Most of them are nothing special, but I'm sure there is a company that makes them and they actually have a name.

    ...Weldon16 works here too, after the adhesive sets trim the acrylic with a flush trim bit in a router.

    If you look at my thread with the pics of my 150 that's how I took the top down pics. I took scrap piece of acrylic tube just bigger than the lens on my sony alpha camera. Used acrylic solvent cement to glue a piece on the end then flush cut it with a router. Can stick the entire lens of the camera under the surface of the water now for great pics!
    I also wrapped the tube with black tape to prevent light glare from the sides.
