It's hard to picture what you're talking about. Do you have a picture or anything?
Do you have info on an air liquid separator? Sounds expensive. Trying to keep costs down is my main reason for utilizing the surge.
I never stuck anyones name on anything... And I realize that it's been in use in fisheries and bathouses as you say for eons, but in the hobby, we...
Here is someone that uses a similar design, but with some differences of course. I'd be using about 300% more water in the surge than a 5 gallon...
True it probably is over building, but if there is a place where the tank will fail, it's there. The epoxy will be more than enough if done right,...
The 45*s are easy until you are connecting an X,Y and Z axis in the corners...
We've used gorilla glue, however I think that a liquid nail type glue would work fine. As far as plywood, you can use AB Pine, or even AC, but I...
This is MAS epoxy tinted black. I believe that the recomendation is that you DO use tinting as the UV may cause it to yellow anyway. I don't think...
You can get pigments to tint it any color you want! These are from a few local plywood tanks. One is up and running, and the other is on hold for a...
What happens is that the 2 part epoxy basically turns into an enamel that is COMPLETELY watertight and foolproof. It's so tough you can't smash it...
Also, just becasue it's been used before (see pond liners) doesn't mean that it has worked well in every case. Most of the time people don't post...
Please don't use the sweetwater stuff. It's paint and is not epoxy, it will not add very much to the strength of the tank at all. The MAS and West...
AActually breeding them and selling them for $25 a piece sounds like a good idea!
Mmmmm $6000 clownfish dinner! Sounds like a delicacy to me!
First off, I am in the middle of a build that is very similar to yours, and I have witnessed several builds. YES West or MAS epoxy will work great!...
I have used 2 of their fixtures. One was a T5, and the bulbs were about an inch and a half shorter than standard T5's. I had to redo the standoff's...
Could you keep something like a medium sized tang with a dwarf cuttle?
IMO The thickness of the acrylic isn't as much of a factor as the seal between panels... The 1" acrylic will stop a bullett and STILL hold your water...
