I figured something like that was going on :wink:
The sizes I gave you are an Aqueon
That's why I asked in the first place, but didn't want to step on your toes :biggrin:

Sure would be nice if your local store had this is stock

If the 15 gallon will do the trick though there is no need, so I'll measure it up first and see what I have. A quick guesstimate though says I will need room for about 5.5 gallons of back flow (that's 2" drop in the tank, which I doubt it will be that much), and there would be about 6 gallons room in the sump. That is pretty close, but I'm pretty sure that I won't have 5.5 gallons back flow.

The only places here that sell Aqueon (that I know of) are Petsmart and Petland. Petsmart doesn't do any special orders at all so if it isn't a regular stock item they can't get it. Petland has outrageous prices so I refuse to shop there unless it is dire need. :lol: I will go check Petsmart this weekend though because I think I might have seen 20L there.

Actually it shouldnt rust that much where its dadoed in the wood on both sides

Mindy, while I was drifting off last night I remembered Lee Valley. Have you looked there for hinges?

Mike, I wasn't thinking to dado it...how do you mean?

Greg, I've been all over Lee Valley's website, but I haven't managed to get in the store yet. I didn't see what I was looking for on the website, but I'm thinking if I describe it to the guys there that they might be able to come up with an idea.

Tonight I was in the Recroom, hacking away, cutting crappy pass-through holesaw holes, and heating up my variable drill ( fuming about my inaccessible drill press ), when I thought of you.
I have a heated garage, fully setup with all my larger woodworking tools, and I can't use them because of the Collector Camaro.

I feel for you having to build outside on nicer days and paint in the kitchen.
At least I can make a mess on the carpet and hope to vacuum it all up before the Wife gets a splinter :smile:

Haha yeah, next house will have a heated workshop! :D

Mindy:
what you would do is take the piano hinge and lay it on the door and trace it out.
- Then Router out the thickness of the hinge into the door.
- This will allow the hinge to sit flush withteh frame.
-Hence having a flush door that is attached to the frame.

HTH

Ah ok...I was thinking a bigger dado for something that I wasn't understanding.

I know it's a bit late now, but these are pretty cool hinges. $42 for 2 doors ( ouch ). They open 180 degrees
Imagine the doors flush-recessed
You'd probably need to re-face the stand if you want nearly full-sized doors but could cut down the doors you already cut out if the size of your opening is happy.
