Great idea with the airline. Let's it breathe. Rock on chompers!

Here's the first sentence I wrote

I was wondering if anyone would read all that or if everyone just looks at the pictures.

OOOHHHH I thought u said like a bow tank or something when I read that. Was sort of wondering why the pics didn't show a bow tank. Well nice overflow, lol.

 

[CHOMPERS]

LOL, I had thought maybe you thought it was like a brand name. Bowfin looks a lot like bowfront too.

Don't worry, envy can be a good thing, but curiosity did kill the cat.

And I don't know what your talking about...You've seen many of them... Just look in the aquatic equipment grocery stores like Fosters, Amazon etc.

But I do share my knowledge to those who want / need / ask / and are smart enough to take it.

Name withheld to keep basslover34 guessing. ROFL

.

AH Dr... according to your discriptions your projects would make it into the redneck hall of fame... but sadly there are no pics

I will admit however your knowledge is ... unique!... yeah thats the word I'm looking for

Use the clear overflow tubes rather than trying to duplicate my design. I tried to get a link to show you what I am talking about but Aquatic Ecosystems' site is down right now. It is those clear U tubes for HOB overflows. Use one more than you really need.

If I had to build another one, I'd use the U tubes. Making mine with the integrated overflow chambers was a real challenge without having proper jigs.

I got all the acrylic for free. I raided an acrylic shops dumpster. I used two tubes of glue at three bucks each. The plumbing parts were about three dollars, so I have right at ten bucks into it if you include tax.
