Fish's new tank project

[Delphinus]

Cool, thanks for the info. I've had trouble bonding ABS type materials before (I ended up needed to use a lot of 2-part epoxy {not the underwater stuff}). I'll have to pick up some of this. For some reason I think I've heard of it but I can't think of what context it was in. I'm sure once it's cured it's probably as reef-safe as anything, one would think anyhow.

What size hole you gonna drill? If you want 1" bulkheads I can lend you my 1-3/4" glass bit if you want. Afraid I only have that and 5/8" (for float valves) so if you want bigger I can't help. Anyhow let me know if you'd like to borrow the 1-3/4" or the 5/8".

I think Home Depot carries Gorilla glue as well. I have used it for wood work but found it did not store well after opening so dont get too big a bottle !!

Tony,
Thank you for the offer - actually it is a 3/4" bulkhead. I have never used a proper circular bit before, I've always used a dremmle with a diamond bit before and that is probably what I'm gonna do this time.

Update:

I am still waiting for the new tank to be finished but I came across something that I found 'interesting'. An online company is using a photo of my 12" cube to advertise on their website:

The funny thing about it, is that is probably the worst picture I took of that tank - it was back when I first set it up and the corals had not yet filled in, and I had not moved it to the hole in the top of the desk so it is leaning against the wall, half off the desk. The moral of the story: Don't trust what you see on the internet, anyone can copy and paste and make themselves look like a legitamate business.

Here is the email I sent them:
Hello,
It has been brought to my attention that you are using a photo of an aquarium, that I "Designed : Built : Maintained" to advertise on your site. The fact that you are using it for a commercial venture without getting permission or giving proper recognition, bothers me a great deal. This is the photo in question:

I took that picture while the tank was temporarily against a wall and it doesn't even look as good as the tank did when it was set up properly - I seriously doubt that any benefit derived from the false advertising will outweigh the negative attention it will get in my different threads online.

True to my word,

i know that what they are doing is stupid but they could not have picked a better nano and the pic looks good too

Ask for a kickback

Thanks Steve! I actually wish that they at least would have used a better picture -


Subdued - that's a great idea! It's probably cheaper for them just to find a picture of another person's tank to rip off....

Happy New Year Guys,
