Today as I worked on our tank I got a tingle from the water. Shocked (sorry could not help that) I started removing electrical items to find the culprit. Strangely enough the only thing I can take out that makes the voltage go away was the ground probe. This is one made onto an electrical plug...

I know this area is not real keen on T5 lighting as it not well supported or discussed around town but Has anyone on the forum tried the new URI T5 actinic? Just curious, I am going to try some anyway

Has anyone here built a tank using wood and fiberglass. Before we left the big easy a LFS had built a very nice lagoon prop tank using a wood frame that was coated with fiber glass. I am wondering how that type of construction compares cost wise with acrylic. Looks like I could build a 6 by 1.5...

Ok I have a small penquin filter for a 20 gallon tank that I need to route the filtered water (or some of it) into two fish bowls in the tank Any ideas?

I like doing DIY projects but somethings I prefer to just buy The auto topoffs from oceanus systems are sweet http://www.oceanussystems.com/ The senser mount is a little infelxible and requires room that I am quickly finding a commodity in my small sump but other than that I love this thing...

Any of you folks know of an ahdesive that would bond wood to acrylic?
