You know I am in!

Do you know how much he wants for that chiller? You may have solved my problem.

just go slowly, moving the heat gun at a medium pace.it will take time.you can also heat the acrylic in a moderately heated oven first

Do your homework on this. I think you may need permits from DFO for collection of jellies. I know of someone else that did this and they were required.

Same with the acrylick, I wrote pricing down, in case I wanted to build something, but it got lost in, I dont know where.

But in dans case, it might be worth to gust drive up there and sniff, maybe the entire build could end upcin less than $250

The drive up is faster than you think



Ting is, at this time dan wants thicker in the front to avoid condensation,

But than the side and back might start dripping.


One thing to think about might be to set the entire thing in a plywood box, with 1 inch space between side and bottom, and before putting it in, drill each 8 inch or so, holes all around, and than when you placeit in, sprayfoam the entire box.

This to insulate the box, and to avoid condensation on the back and sides.

Thing is, and often overlocked isthe heat penetration / heat loss of a tank threw the sides, I think we all could save 20 to 30% on heating and in dans case cooling, when all sides of a tank that ar not for locking threw, ar insulated well

And as he has to cool afair bit, saving a $ on the cooling, as well as saving the chiller by constantly cicking in would not be to bad

Thanks for that! I think in general there is some awesome stuff up there, worth checking out.

As for the box insulated with foam -- I think that is a fantastic idea and I might look into doing that. Initially I wanted it to be nice and slick with the acrylic, but the insulation may be considerably more practical.

I did call DFO, and my general experience with them is along the lines of "What, jellies? Uhh.. I have no idea" It could be the people who I have talked to so far. As far as I know, besides the Discovery Center in Sidney, I would be the only person on the island looking at collecting jellies in the Victoria area. I think jellies are low on the radar when it comes to the DFO, they have bigger fish to fry so to speak.

I think that we may use this PK for raising clowns in the short term -- and I think it would be ideal for that type of application.
