<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE (dogofwar @ Jun 17 2008, 08:12 AM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}></div> I looked for those first. but they don't seem to make them 5X5X40ish :lol: and my husband is the one who had the idea to use the PVC for the filter. he can comes with some great stuff.

<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE (Sonny Disposition @ Jun 17 2008, 08:08 AM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}></div> [/b] ok, I will try. I don't think my husband took any 'during' photos of the filter though. but it's a fairly simple concept and I can get more photos of the finished product.

yeah, I couldn't find any weld on locally and I am too cheap to have it shiped :lol: my husbands idea really is better though. there are fewer places that need to be sealed and it was faster to make. plus I wasn't very good at cutting the plexi, it was jagged. :rolleyes: of course it is...

The current filter was my husbands idea, based on my original but not so good idea. Mine was to make the canopy a bit wider then the tank so it would go all the way to the wall, this would allow enough room for the shelf for the filter and for the lights and still let me feed the fish and change...

ok... so my husband and daughter helped ;) but here are some photos of my canopy and in canopy filter: my little assistent: on the tank before being stained: after canopy was stained: closeup of filter return:

<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE (maddog10 @ Mar 4 2008, 09:27 PM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}></div> but why do we need a gallery?

<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE (JustRon @ Mar 4 2008, 09:05 PM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}></div> I like the calender idea. but why do we need to pay for a gallery?

just now seeing this. I am really glad those decorations got a good home. My husband suggested the trash can since trash day was the day before the meeting. but I hoped someone could use them. Those castles are kinda neat looking, and the anchor cave thing looks like a good hiding spot.

<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE (DeeCee @ Feb 11 2008, 10:13 PM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}></div> free plant with every fish. he did look a little confused when I dropped it off in front of him though :D I was running all around trying to get all my stuff in the auction since I got there late..... <div...

I have: Flu-val 403 some driftwood on slate with a java attached. some rocks maybe some nice looking gravel. I kinda want to keep it, but it's not in the tank since I wanted shellies, and my husband will probably kill me for just having it around in bags... a pice of styrofoam, about 2'X4'X3/4"...

well.... it would be easier if we could pay with paypal... I would have joined already! but nooooo I have to wait :P :smashfreakB: :lol:

ok... this says Home Depot right? I went there today and the stuff they had didn't look like what you have.... is there something I missed?

Oh, I love strapps! They are so cute. But my husband liked the brighter colors of gold occies so that is what we are going with :D

ok... how do you make sure the compartment gets enough circulation?

what did you do about the heater? my husband wants it and the filter tube covered. hiding the tube won't be hard, but the heater is well... hot.......

thats the problem. It leaks so its just been sitting dry. why I didn't put the bio in the tank is probably just because I am stupid..... :smashfreakB: but my husband would kill me if I just let it sit there leaking. even if I used a towel or something.

yeah, I have been thinking about just buying a new one. this one did have an already established bio though :roll: it also came with an old fluval 403. but the old owner thought it was an undergravel filter and she wanted plants so she didn't use it. I don't know if I even have all the parts...

ok, I emailed both. hopefully one will have it :D

no. I went to petsmart today and they didn't have an o ring. everywhere online is super expensive once you add in shipping (and I am cheap :) ). so I am having a hard time finding one. :(

for bleach you could use a funnel.... or a bathtub. could also use vineger that way, not as bad if you don't get it all out.... tie a string to the tail of a mouse and send it down. then use the string to pull a brush through... problem with that is the mouse might not understand that it isn't...
