Fish's new tank project

[JSTR]

Thanks Chad,

The tanks build up thread will start this weekend.

As for the stands - I just talk to Dennis and he takes care of all.

[Fish]

Ya sorry, I meant to ask 'who do you talk to to have a tank built'? Must of had stands on the mind. I'm assuming that Dennis is still the guy?

Could use magnets to hold the eggcrate. They could be glued into the eggcrate with epoxy or Weldon 40. I think Busy Bee Tools has the small magnets for a good price. Just an idea.

[Fish]

That's not a bad idea Kari. I could use the magnets to ensure that the sides don't fall off, and spankings to ensure the kids don't pull them off (jokes).
That would simplify things for a cleaner design....

Rare Earth Magnets are strong, use the channel on the bottom, then two pairs of magnets per panel, your kids could probably climb them without pulling them off. Need to use STRONG glue to keep the Magnets in place. Each Magnet is about the size of a Nickel, but thicker. I've got some that I'm gonna make glass mount Frag plugs out of.

[Fish]

I'm liking this idea more and more. Where did you get your magnets?

Fish I bought rare earth magnets at Lee Valley. I was afraid to walk past the counters on the way out, thinking I'd be covered in metal stuff......
