Who needs a specialist when you have a spare post downstairs you could use to support your back..That's the build that would be interesting..Back in the day my 'pain' specialist Dr. Molson was never far away... fortunately he has retired.. anyways de-railing again.

Epidural fibrosis thanks to spine surgery is not pleasant I am now doing Prolotherapy (check spelling)

Now I am derailing.

Back to the tank - just got heater, will install later as tan should be flowing by midnight.

Time to install the 2 x MP10WES's

What's the glass thickness on your display? I'd be surprised if Dave built that with 10mm?

[Aqua-Digital]

No idea but if its gonna start another debate I am not telling

[lastlight]

i only ask because i've read that they don't work on anything thicker than 10mm.

I think he just want to warn you that MP10s don't work well on glass thicker than 10mm if at all.

[Aqua-Digital]

Correct 10mm is the thickest they will work on and yes the glass IS 10mm thick

The included Rubber Spacer must be used between the Dry Side and the wall for thicknesses of 1/8” (3mm) and 3/16” (5mm). The Rubber Spacer is not needed for thicknesses of 1/4” (6mm) or 3/8” (10mm). Failure to use the Rubber Spacer can damage the pump, which WILL NOT be covered under warranty.

Was wondering the same. But thought originally used for ato. I like though

crap you are right I forgot about the acrylic that adds 3mm.

MP40's way overkill, looks like tunze is going to be the route sadly.
