Cleaning My Shop

Laura and Jim will be hosting the May meeting this Saturday the 12th and it will be the usual of food, drinks, raffle and fun.
 
Doors will be open at 6:00 pm for social talk and the meeting will start at 7:00.  Parking gets a little tight and the city says you can't park on 4th but there is a parking lot a block away.   Meeting is usually held in the backyard so feel free to bring your favorite lawn chair, weather permitting of course.

If you need address/directions, contact a club member.

Best if you park at Mini Mall (where the spaghetti establishment use to be)
 
You will get to see his new frag tank set up in the making.
 
Hope to see you there!

Hey Les,  you got anything I could use as a sump?

[Les]

I have a 100 gallon water trough or we can buy some acrylic and build you one.

[tyler5g]

Never bought bulk acrylic before.  When, Where, How, And How much?

les i have that 90 gallon sump to of yours lying in my shop if john could fit that under the tank?
Justin

[Les]

HMMMM, John that may be an idea.

[tyler5g]

Well the concept of the new system is to put the sump and the equipment into the garage thru the wall, so it would not nessessarily have to fit under the tank.

[tyler5g]

Les,

There have been some conceptual changes in the new system.  How big is that sump should we decide to put it under the tank?  If it is too big, we may have to go back to building one.

[Les]

I'm fairly sure its 24x24x48 long. But we will have to measure it.

[tyler5g]

Les,
Is that a sump that you built?  The dimensions are a little big to fit under the stand, but if it is a sump you built, could we modify the size to get it to fit?  The tank is basically 4' long and 3' at one end and tapers to about 2.5' at the other end.

[Les]

I think we should just build you a new one. That one I have is the old one that was under my 175 and is only built out of 1/4" acrylic. As to modifications of that old one, my past attempts to reglue acrylic have been less than good. You get a much better joint with new and it won't craze out like old stuff will.

Wee can discuss this endevour at the upcoing Christmas -party.  See ya Saturday.
