Hey scooter... your pictures remind me of the time my dad built my brother a bed in the garage... cool bed... cabinets under and all that.... then tried to bring in in the house.... like 2 inches too wide no matter how he tried... tried windows and flipping it every which way. Finally had to cut it in half and put it back together in the room.

I laugh now when I think about the new owners of the house and the day they try to take out the bed.

Well I know it will fit, tight but we do have room! Man I hate OIL based Paint, nope don't do it!:badgrin: Ugg I finally have the second coat, hope to get it in the house after the smell wears off. with any luck next week I should get a new tank, thanks to Tom! It will be nice to have it up on top of that huge stand, big MBV, pumping water one day! Well we can only dream right? It may take time but I think I'll enjoy the process!

It will be all worth it Scooter! The more you do on it, the more you will love and appreciate it

 

[Scooterman]

Well A little step for Scootie, one Giant step for my House!

Wife is still in shock! She can't see the finished product though (that is what I keep telling myself)!
To put things into prospective, that is a 13.65 Pounds cat! The photos makes it look small but it is huge!

You ought to try the MBV out on the monster kitty.

 

[Scooterman]

I added one for Charlie!
I put power on the MBV & actuated the ball valve, I have a friend that will write me a program for my tank & I think it will control the ball valve, lights & later I'll add temp. control, PH monitor, HMI interface & maybe even host a live website, he is donating a Siemens PLC also so it is a start, what I'm doing with the MBV will be different that the others, it will cycle slower at night, if I wanted to get fancier I could randomize the actuation but for now I'll leave it close to what the others are doing & see how it works.

 

[CarlaW]

That is one heck of an image!! Thanx

The cat looks pretty pleased too.
Gettin' ready for Richmond???
Scooty, that is one nice lookin' stand my friend, you did a heck of a job.

Well, I thought I'd get some feedback on the plumbing design, so this is what I came up with. Hope it is viewable!
