you got it

 

[Katrina71]

Joe, have you ever etched glass on the rear panel of a tank? Even a faux panel.

 

[StatelineReefer]

Oooo.... this would look fantastic, but it would have to be etched on the outside or it will be HELL to clean.

 

[StatelineReefer]

Couple that with the fact that you can do vinyl overlay etching, so you can get different etch depths and diffusion into the glass

 

[fishguy242]

that would be cool but thick glass

 

[Katrina71]

Why shouldn't our tanks be art? Imagine iridized opalescent stained glass on the rear panel. Black, dark blue, or white.

 

[fishguy242]

cause then we would have to clean back glass..lol

 

[StatelineReefer]

I'd just backlight the coralline.

 

[StatelineReefer]

Speaking of backlighting, if you have a thick enough tank wall, you can put LEDs facing inwards on the back and light the panel. It's a nice touch to add some deep blue inside the glass for moon phase lighting.

Totally the right thread... You just don't know it yet. ;Shamefullyembarrased

speaking of the back glass panel, since it didn't break when hit by the bowling bowl, why not make the front panel of the same stuff?

the front took the power out of impact

 

[NS Mike D]

That was too easy.

So, I took my water to my LFS today... just to make sure I wasn't going crazy, because I felt crazy, even after spending 120 on RODI filters....

21.6 DKH

 

[fishguy242]

out of tap,or unit?

 

[fishguy242]

That was too easy.

what in the, he double hockey sticks you talkin about ,you on wrong thread too tonight? :)

 

[StatelineReefer]

Out of the unit... and no, wait... not 21.6... 21.6 was what my reading was... their Hanna says 24.2.

Lemme back up for a minute and say... I JUST replaced every filter on my RODI... I should not be seeing Alk that high.... I'm not DOSING alk at all. So that crazy of an alkalinity is something that worries me.
