Fish's new tank project

JSTR · #1 11-17-2006, 05:46 AM

Hey Chad,

That stand is looking 100% better than it was sitting in my kitchen.
Can't wait to see the final product.

Finally got my new 75 gal tank up and running, totals 110 gal with fuge and sump. But I will save that for a seperate thread. For those interested it will be an experiment in Zeovite. Seeing if it can get my browned out acro to color up again.

Found a mag 5, if you still looking for a pump.

Paul,
Thanks. I think that this satnd is gonna be perfect for my needs. I am very much interested in the mag5. It amazes me the stuff you are able to come up with - PM sent. Also, drop a line when you do start that thread, that is one sharp looking setup you've got.

- Chad

ps - who did you deal with a Gold to have your stand built?

Thanks Chad,

The tanks build up thread will start this weekend.

As for the stands - I just talk to Dennis and he takes care of all.

Ya sorry, I meant to ask 'who do you talk to to have a tank built'? Must of had stands on the mind. I'm assuming that Dennis is still the guy?

Could use magnets to hold the eggcrate. They could be glued into the eggcrate with epoxy or Weldon 40. I think Busy Bee Tools has the small magnets for a good price. Just an idea.

That's not a bad idea Kari. I could use the magnets to ensure that the sides don't fall off, and spankings to ensure the kids don't pull them off (jokes).
That would simplify things for a cleaner design....

Rare Earth Magnets are strong, use the channel on the bottom, then two pairs of magnets per panel, your kids could probably climb them without pulling them off. Need to use STRONG glue to keep the Magnets in place. Each Magnet is about the size of a Nickel, but thicker. I've got some that I'm gonna make glass mount Frag plugs out of.
