The dimensions you just used are for a 20L, which is 30x12x12. I’m not going to consider the extra volume in the return section, only the volume about 8 inches. The 20 L would have 30x12x4 inches of remaining area, which is equal to 6.2 gallons. A 40B is 36x18x16, so for every inch of...

John, looks good. My only suggestion would be to get rid of those metal pipe straps. They will be all rust within three months. Go to the electrical department in HD and get the PVC conduit straps there. You have a choice of stand-off: Or regular clamps: They are sized...

I don't know about you, but aren't we there already? :o :grin:

LOL…..it actually reminded me of the query, “what weighs more, a ton of feathers or a ton of lead?” In actuality you get more volume per inch with the 20 L….larger surface area. However, if you say you only want the water X inches deep in the sump, you now get more head volume with the 20 H...

+1 Jager's have glass twice as thick as other glass heaters. They are the best. The only potential negative is that they are long.

Thanks Mark. I mentioned this to my wife and the only thing she wanted to know was where you lived so she could come over and slap you silly. :o She says I need another tank like a hole in the head. :grin: :grin: :grin:

Thanks Jose, but I have a confession: Bless me Father, for I have sinned……… I buy wood filler by the quart. In fact my only expense thus far has been about $13 for a new quart of wood filler. Yes, I buy it by the quart! In addition, you will notice that I purposely did not take any...

Tristan, very nice! You would never know you had a crash. I have one question.....What's this:

HERE you go......$11, shipped. Can't beat that!

The only thing critical with power supplies are voltage and amps (and that the adaptor end is correct in size and with positive/negative locations). With amps, you need to be equal to or more than what is needed. So since the current is 2.5 amps, you would want a replacement power supply that...

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...
