    New frag system build

    in Tank Threads

    Posted

    Looks like a lab! Good idea in adding an exhaust fan. I have my setup in the basement and underestimated how much moisture it would pump into an already moist place, thinking about adding a fan myself.

    Do tanks get too warm in the PNW with LEDs?

    in General Discussion

    Evaporative cooling works amazingly well on a smaller tank of your size. I don't have AC and my old tank would cool down 2-3 degrees in a half hour with just a small 3.5" computer case fan. I think folks use these to ventilate light hoods as well. I just laid the fan on top of my mesh cover blowing down and hooked it up to the Apex. Just need to make sure it doesn't start fighting your heater.

    OLD Par Meter Booking Thread

    in General Discussion

    Posted

    [mention=16173]Willapa[/mention], are you out there?  Which meter do you prefer, handheld or USB?  The USB is ready to loan. Handheld has one person ahead of you.
    [mention=16179]pdxmonkeyboy[/mention], your turn should be in a couple of weeks. Which one are you interested in?

    Oh sorry, fell off the wagon. I have an outdated MacBook so the USB one may be a nightmare plus my computer skills have much to be desired. Put me down for the handheld when it frees up.

    I'm sooo close to being able to start adding things to my tank, but heading to MT for a week and need to wait til I get back. I'll hit you up then to see if you have a FF digi colony and maybe a slimer left.

    Where to buy glass in the Portland/Vancouver area

    in D.I.Y

    Posted

    Try Culver Glass in the NW Portland industrial area. I've bought lots of glass for cabinets and table tops there. Prices are reasonable and they have a quick turnaround. They have all the glass you'd want, cut accurately, and will polish edges. They'll give you a quote right over the phone on the spot.

    For some reason the reply box for posts listed under classifieds says I don't have permission. I'm a member and the members only section lets me reply.

     

    I know I shouldn't be spending any more money on this hobby, but if I see something I like, I'd sure like the chance! For example I can't reply to Holly's open house thread ☹️

    First tank.. grow out frag tank

    in Tank Threads

    Posted

    Thanks for sharing your experiences and intel! Good to have a resource for questions and know we have access to a local supplier. My table saw is pretty dialed in and has outfeed tables set up, but I have access to a large cabinet slider table saw at my old job. They've got a CNC set up too. Does the acrylic come in standard 4x8 sheets?

    How do you prevent glue/solvent squeeze out in the interior corners where it seems impossible to clean off and polish?

    That's great you built your tank. At last months meeting, Roy said he built his display as well. I'd be interested in trying that sometime. I did carpentry and cabinet making full time for 12 years and have all necessary tools and skills just curious about where to get materials and some tips and tricks to gluing. Would you be willing to share info? Do you think you'll be coming to the April meeting?
