hey Narc friends I am in need of some acrylic rods for my rock building event on Saturday.... Do any of you have any you would like to sell as nobody in Hville has any....

The 300 is going in on sunday so if you want to come by the more the better. Tank will begin the transit at 10am

Did I make all yalls mad at me.

Tomoko Schum · Mar 5, 2010

I don't think you got anyone mad at you. I have not heard anyone using an acrylic rod to build a structure around here although I have seen some people use these clear acrylic rods to create really neat aquascape on some sites. I wish I could help you, but I don't know where you get them around here.

I dont think anyone is either I was being a smart butt.

I know Lowes/HD use to carry threaded plastic rods that would work also. Ive seen people use those also I think Marco Rocks sells them to use with there rocks
Like these Aquascape supplies

Hey, Mike. You should start a 300G build thread

.

It will help others a lot if you can describe how to connect and get all the electrical and electronic gears operating. I bet there are many hobbyists who are on the fense simply because they don't know how to work with gagets. As you know, some devices do not come with good instructions.

I think you can cut up plastic coat hangers and get some pretty long pieces.

Tomoko Schum · Mar 6, 2010

Do you intend to drill through several rocks and put a rod through to secure them?

mike_dani · Mar 6, 2010

Yes I was planning to drill the rock and thenuse the rods to hold them together

H@rry · Mar 6, 2010

If you just want them to stay stacked the plastic coat hangers may work fine.

How's the "tank takedown" coming?

mike_dani · Mar 6, 2010

I will begin the take down in a couple of hours need to finish cleaning sand and getting the water out of the 300

H@rry · Mar 7, 2010

Hope it goes well today but I'll bet you don't have time to check the forums!

Hey there friends I am wore plum out.... We started at 630am this morning and by 10 the 110 was down and outside......

When you get ready to refill your tank if you still want some acrylic rod I have some. What size/length did you want?.. I have a few different sizes. Probably some 1/2, 3/4 and 1" You can buy cheap masonry bits at harbor freight if you need those..
