I didnt realize that people were cutting pipes with a saw.



I picked one of these up ages ago, and they work great! Not as slick as a powered version, but it was only $10.

I think it was from Princess Auto, but Totem and I imagine Home Depot, Rona, etc would all have them.

If you had a few dozen cuts of 1.5" and 2" pipe though, you'd switch to a chopsaw too.

But I agree the hand cutters trump a hacksaw.

Finished the all important egg create on top of the overflow (however I'm sure the little gobies who will first be living in this tank will find their way though )


Made some egg create stands. One for the pump to sit on (hose for the pump was a few inches to short to reach the bottom)


one for the skimmer


skimmer taking a vinegar bath

Did a power out situation (I don't have the loc-line pieces I need to raise the water level higher) to make sure the sump wouldn't over flow, needless to say I have an inch to spare, cutting it close though.
