Hey Doni, doing any closed loops or sticking with all powerheads?

Woodstock · 01-24-2007, 01:29 PM

Btw... I found a glass company just a few miles down the road that will drill and cut the glass panes for me.

The drilling cost will be 1/2 what the LFS quoted me. So not only am I saving money, I am eliminating a 4 hr drive (2 trips to the lfs), and gaining experience!

New 40 gal breeder $80
4 Glass panes for baffles $32.50
1 1 3/4 hole drilled $6.00
Silicone approx $4

Not bad!

I do not like closed loops. Way too permanant for me

well I already got my glass cut... if youre going to do that and keep your water height at 10" you will need one piece 17 3/8" x 10 for the center and two pieces 17 3/8 x 11 You could even make them taller since they are your end baffles and will be up off the bottom

well, that's a good find!! very excited to see some pics! hehe

ok, just wondering about the loops... I heard a new trick for people with UV's (me also). Run the loop with the UV in it, good stuff. But, NA for you.

Awesome job of researching and planning Doni! Can't wait to see the new project for sure!

After your up and running, you, Gina, and Lisa are welcome to a roadtrip to Marina del Rey for some R&R. The weather is fabulous and there is 30 miles of sunny SoCal beaches just minutes from the marina!

Sounds like a good deal to me!
Laying around on the beach with a tropical drink in hand!
