    Plastic Dip?

    My contractor came out tonight to do a little more work (it's been almost 3 weeks since he's been here, I was starting to get nervous:eek: ). I talked to him about the plasti-spray and he thought it would be too expensive and wouldn't give the results I was looking for. He recommended some...

    Plastic Dip?

    Marine grade paint was my original plan and I still might go that route. As far as tiles for the floor, that's still an option too. There will be two drains installed in the floor and I was thinking that if I used the plastic spray, the interior wall would become a giant plastic tub that water...

    Plastic Dip?

    Just curious.... I'm looking at plastic dip, the stuff you coat tool handles in, to cover the interior of the wall/floor/shelves etc.. on a through-wall project. It is chip resistant, weather resistant, salt resistant, literally plain old plastic. I found it in a spray version and am wondering...

    Closed-cell polyethylene or r-tech styrofoam?

    From what I understand, the sporting good stores sell it as a moisture barrier insulation for underneath sleeping bags. Is it not water proof or is it only after the edges are cut to fit the tank that it becomes non-water proof?

    Closed-cell polyethylene or r-tech styrofoam?

    I agree 100% however I'm not so sure the polyethylene is too soft. I also read on Fenner's site that the softer 1/4" fan fold insulation is highly reccommended as well. I'm having a hard time trying to figure out the pros and cons of each. I know the styrofoam is probably the most widely used...

    Closed-cell polyethylene or r-tech styrofoam?

    I've read a lot about both of these for use under a tank. Which is better? I have 1/2" styrofoam but it doesn't compress as much as I though it would. The tank is empty right now and I am considering swapping out the pad. Are the sleeping bag mats (3/8" closed-cell polyethylene) more forming...

    125g thru-wall dream project

    Hi Matt, I tried that already with 1/2" insulfoam from HD and it didn't help. I heard somewhere that the foam used under sleeping bags at Sporting Goods stores are supposed to work better but I couldn't find what "they" were talking about. I also heard fan-fold insulation was supposed to be...

    Heating cold water

    Call any local swimming pool or hot tub dealer and they have tons of heaters for all size enclosures. I shopped a lot of swimming pool dealers this summer for our pool. There is a lot of stuff there you could incorporate into aquaria. btw, I loved the typo, it made me giggle ;) !

    125g thru-wall dream project

    I wouldn't have been overly concerned had the entire side been 1/8" off, but since it is one corner only I am worried about torsional twisting. (hope I said that right:rolleyes: )

    125g thru-wall dream project

    danno14, Could the form be built on top of the plywood base? The stand is built into the floor and wall and is unmoveable. I would even have to remove a small portion of the wall and sheetrock just to be able to shim the plywood that is alreadly there. I'm not sure which way to go and...

    PSAS Sponsor/Discount list

    Just called Jesse back and he affirmed that YES they accept all PSAS members at a 10% discount. He did clarify that he is not sure if the additional 10% off will be valid on Dec 1st. The 30% off sale is from 5pm to 7pm only. He "pre" thanked me for going back on and posting that Denny's is a...

They also said that December 1st they are having a 30% off sale on their livestock and many other aquatic products throughout the store and PSAS members can get...

    LED Lighting

    I have an article that is about LED lights, I was impressed. I have never done business with the company so I can't validate anything about the company or the article on their site other than it was interesting. I'm still looking into lighting for my new project, wish LED was proven and...

    It's a beauty, wish my spouse would take over every once in awhile and let me sit around, supervise and drink a beer! Lucky you!

    Can someone please tell me what this is?

    Lynne, Check out the LPS id page that Meche is referring to. The cup coral also looks quite similar to your pic. It's hard for me to tell from your pic but the tentacles do look sort of like it, wish I had a pic of the mouth on the ID pages. If they have no orange-color tips, then...
