just to add my .02, if protecting the reefs doesn't move you to invest in "legal" product, even if you go to the bahamas, custom's would confiscate it at least, possibly levy a fine if you can't prove it didn't come from florida reefs. Later, Paul

slothy, I'm not absolutely positive but I *think* the difference is the pin configuration, the German PC's are a straight line of 4 pins, the PC's most of us use are a 4 pin square configuration. I would guess that the difference in price is more a question of demand for the product then the...

but quite honestly flight attendent person, I promise not to use it for anything illegal, I need it to build the slothy one a new stand for his tank and I get "all the Cutty Sark I can drink" surely you understand. Now if I can just figure out how to handle the table saw hmmmmm LOL Later, Paul

LOL that is one OLD Cutty label :D Okay slothy, I assume you have all the tools I'd need to construct this right? Somehow I think Delta would frown on me trying to carry on my tablesaw, planer, router, jointer, mitersaw, and radial arm saw LOL Later, Paul

finally got some pics posted of the "project" as it progresses :D thanks all! Paul Stand Under Construction

bing bing bing Java wins! LOL ... I apologize to Azonic for hi-jacking his thread it was really unintentional and I'm going to open a thread devoted to slothy's eyesight "Pics of stand construction" Thanks all, Paul

LOL thanks slothy, actually it's further along than the pics show but the wife is still not a happy camper LOL as far as building you one hmmmmmmm well I drink Cutty Sark Scotch not beer and I can only build stands indoors LOL. Is this a problem? Later, Paul

yeah they're on a switch but they'll probably run when the lights are on when I finally get this beast built LOL Later, Paul

DG, how long did you have the pump? Did you do the recommended maintenance? I only ask because, in general, I've heard good things about the Little Giant brand. Later, Paul

Originally posted by slothy why not just get 110 volt fans ? slothy I went with the 12 volt because of price and noise. Later, Paul

I have 5 3" computer fans mounted in my hood, I bought them via computergeeks.com for a whole $2.50 each and then went to Radio shack and got a 12volt transformer rated at 3 amps for about another 10 bucks, the key here is to find out the rated amps of each fan times the number of fans and get a...

Regarding sealing the corners ... I just ran a 1/2" bead of silicon around all the "joints" ... also regarding the acrylic "lining", I'm far from an expert in this area and may be very wrong but it's my understanding that acrylic and silicon are not a match made in heaven. One other note, when I...

slick, I toyed with the same idea when I first started planning my current project. It would work fine, the only drawback would be that the "raw" plywood would have to be coated with epoxy paint anyway to prevent any rotting if there should be a pin hole leak of any kind in the thin sheets of...

LOL Wamp, and by the way pee'ing is not all those dogs do on the beach ewwwwww but, that said, I'm going to be using fresh sand in my tank, when and if I ever get the sob finished. The neighbor's taking me out in his boat and I'll be diving about 25ft to get mine, bringing it up in 5 gallon...

Careful Jon, our last "rant" got deleted LOL Later, Paul

Put the rock in a bucket of SW from your tank while you try to figure out the right answer :D Good luck, Paul

Oh yeah, sure NM just throw reality into the mix :p Later, Paul

sounds good on paper surfn, problem is that centrifigal (sp) pumps are not "self priming" meaning they don't "pull" water in, they have to have the water fed to them to operate. Sorry, don't have an answer to your dilemma off hand but I would agree, don't get rid of the Iwaki, there are...

Find his hidey hole and use a turkey baster to squirt some club soda on the son-of-a-gun he'll come out before you can say "damn that was fast" Good Luck, Paul

You don't need anything fancy, just mount a 25watt soft light in your hood and time it to come on after the main lights go off ... presto moon LOL Later, Paul
