I'm pretty sure McMaster Carr (a catalog that sells everything including
the kitchen sink) sells a plastic edge channel which would go on the
edges of your U-chanl.  You can buy it buy the foot.  McMaster Carr has
a Web site, but I don't know the URL

I'm also considering making my own single tank adptr., & was wondering:
	1.) why 2" channel?  Seems to me 3" or even 4" would be better
&             more stable.  How wide is Halcyone's?  I hear their's
is                 pretty good.
	2.) What wall thickness.  I think 1/4" should be good enough.
	3.) Where did you buy the stuff.  I can't find anyone who
will               sell me a length less than 25' (way more than I need) 

Thanks,  -Tom
