The Doors This is the end Beautiful friend This is the end My only friend, the end. Oh, I’m sorry, I just had a déjà vu moment to Jim Morrison and The Doors! But this project is close to the end. So here is the design I used for the doors. As I mentioned in the above post, I...

I’ve made a decision on the two doors…..no hinges, magnets or anything metal. They will slide in and out, but not like Plan D above (post 18.) They will look more like Plan C, but no hinges, and no noticeable sliding components. So the next step was molding. I wanted something simple...

I’ve got you hooked Greoge….you’ll have to wait. I will tell you that I’m only gluing one side of the biscuit….no glue on the other side. Maybe I should play one of Sunny’s games, and have people guess which one I’m going to do. ;) And there won’t be any hinges, metal or plastic, or any...

Give me ten minutes.....I have to find my toothbrush. :p

Sunny, I just don’t know. I think this is going to require extensive study. So I’m bringing over my pillow and sleeping bag to begin studying the differences between your current lights and the new lights. Realize this might be a multi-year study, but I believe that couch in front of...

No! I still think you’re a “you know what,” whatever that might be??? If a local company saw my tank, they’d be willing to give me a few candles and maybe a match to light the SOB! You know I’m just kidding….I still love you Sunny. Dance Can't wait to see the mystery...

Joe, I've made the executive decision to go metal free. So no hinges or magnets. You'll have to wait and see. So I didn’t get much done today. Too busy during the day, and the wife home at night. I was able to attach two fixed front side panels, slap on a bunch of wood filler, and...

So it's a FOWLR with possibilities? That's a different story.....you sneaky dog.

At this point I’m banging my head against the wall!!!!! A FISH ONLY tank with two AI Sols and he wants to buy a third!!!!! BANG! BANG! BANG! BANG! BANG! BANG! That’s the sound of my head hitting the wall! And Sunny, I can only say, look up the quotes (not...

First, I would like to thank everyone for the compliments. Pete, sometimes serendipity just happens! Justin, thanks for your input on paint. Actually if anyone has a favorite latex, or oil base paint, they sell little packets of mold inhibitor that can be added to any paint….. either...

John, while you're waiting for Interceptor, dip your frags in Bayer Advanced.....I use 1 ml per 100 mls tank water for about 15 minutes. If you don't have any, I can let you have some of mine.

Your numbers sound about right.....no leaks. I actually just noticed this past week or so even higher evaporation loss because of the colder / drier weather. I also run a dehumidifier that pulls even more moisture out of the air. So in the winter I evaporate more water. The one great...

The First Fitting Sanded the filler and put the canopy on the tank tonight. The first fitting: I’m happy with the way it fits. The front brace fits like a glove: As well as the back brace: I marked for the two pump wires and the heater wire to relieve...

Thanks Jose.....I'm looking for more opinions before I make an executive decision.

Skinning the Canopy I used ¼ inch exterior plywood salvaged from a job. To bend the front piece over the arced front, I cut grooves the entire height of the plywood about half way through. To simplify this process, I began by making the first cut down the middle, than moved the saw over a...

NICE! And thanks for showing me the way......I'm still a newbie! :grin: I never knew that an album thing was there. I like the rock work with all those caves for fish. Looks good. EDIT TO ADD: Since Lunitic just gave me a bit of an education, I’m going to see if his pictures...

I see no pictures here, so I’m assuming this is a Facebook thing, or one of the other social dribble sites?

Chris, you’re not saving any power with a MAG pump….they are energy hogs. I think the highest MAG they make is a MAG 3000 gph. But look at the energy consumption. I ran a MAG 24 for my skimmer and I think it sucked 265 watts. If you can, go with an external pump, you’d save money on...

I actually cropped that picture to take out another sign on the drawer above. My hands are clean!

Just like my other canopy, the top will be open. Haven’t had a problem with any moisture, salt, etc. The fixture is up at least 12 inches. Even if it was a problem, I’ll be painting this thing with Kilz Complete….it’s their oil based primer that is so nasty to breath when you’re...
