So how do you spell male chicken - chickens are a blast and even more now for me since the eggs started hatching. They really are easy to take care of, they eat all the kitchen scraps. Fresh eggs are great, you will never want to eat another store bought one after you have your own chickens.

I am trying the little guy is staying warm under its mummy. I think it is cool really excited. Monday we are getting a silkie roaster. Somehow I think I just spelt something you cook in - ever try to type one of those words you never had a reason to type before and spell check doesn't even...

Well this morning we got a little suprize, like black fuzzy chick. We have a couple of egglayers and the one hen went broody on us, no roster - she sat on unfertilized eggs for weeks, finally I said if you are so determined I will get some fertilized eggs, neighbour gave me 8 of them put them...

Just trying it out I want to build a 125 gallon for all my FW stuff - the overflow will be acrylic.

Here is the drawing

Thats cool Joe, some of my rics did that a few weeks ago.

I was kinda questioning the height would 12 inches be enough?

I think it is a cool idea - what do you think guys

So 1/2 inch sides, 3/8 bottom (??) - with strips siliconed on the bottom edges (or as guy said) eurobracing on the bottom.

I would hope they would last longer than that, in the oceans they live forever - they get huge.

You are probably right - I used one of those online glass calculators, maybe I will go with a 3 inch eurostrip on top, would be nice if it was rimless though.

Yes I think that is what he did, it is a great idea because it would be easier on a thinner piece, Shawn you should consider this.

Thanks Shawn - I have a buddy that has a glass shop - I am going to try this for the first time with glass, 3/8 thick should be alright don't you think.

Looking at the pictures it looks like he glues a thinner piece with teeth over the slot. Interesting

Well I had some technicies earlier so I am trying again. I am starting a frag tank for the basement. Dimensions 32 x 32 x 16 high. I had a drawing but it is on the other computer (work). I am going to have a center overflow about 8" x 8" - I have a 250 watt MH light to use and I will build a...

Sounds like a good man - LOL

Thanks Corey - good information - you guys should set up a consulting web page - or we could work out a swap for some drawings. Hey meowzer do you need a drawinf to lay out your LED - would be happy to help.
