  1. Need to upsize my mixing station so want to sell this one by next weekend.

     

    Two whitish clear food grade storage tanks. I want to say about 20" around and 5' high. Jebao circulation pump. Has a permanent 1/4 john guess fitting on the RO side to be used for auto top off.

    Comes with stand and all plumbing.

    $200 seems fair.

     

    Will post a pic when I get home from this dreadful WSDOT certification class.

  2. That is ambitious.. cutting and rewelding that is. You may want to have a bunch of clamps on hand when you do that and have plenty of soak time for the solvent before you clamp.

    Dont clamor the bejezuz out of it, just enough so the the seams are closed. Because the tank is used the pieces are not likely all flat.

    Weld the bottom. Wait a day, weld one side, wait a day, weld the other side, then weld the top.

    I would offer to cut it for you but my saw is packed away now:(

  3. calibration incoming...

    1. it is not Plexiglas, it is Acrylic.   Plexiglas is a name brand of acrylic, like kleenex. 

    2.  There are two general kinds of acrylic.  extruded and cast.  Cast is much much much stronger and doesn't melt when you machine it.  ALL aquariums are made from cast acrylic.  At that height, you will need cast. 

    3.  at 23" height you can totally get away with 3/8" acrylic.  1/2 inch will bow less, but either one is way structurally sufficient.  If you are having a hack build it that is off the shelf solvents (not going to name names but local) then I would go 1/2.  The cost savings is nominal at best. 

    4.  While you may want a box, your box will have to be braced along the top or it will bow and I mean bow BIG TIME.  2' tall 1/2 will probably bow 3-4" without a brace across the top. 

    I think that timeframes for a custom build are going to be in the 2 month range
