Bettarazzi Posted June 1, 2007 Report Share Posted June 1, 2007 Kitz, what did you use to stop the far end of the tube? That is, the end away from the powerfilter. Or is it just open? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ned Posted June 1, 2007 Report Share Posted June 1, 2007 if its open plastic you could get some hot glue from like 2 dollar stores and use that, just get a lighter and melt it into the plastic, and its pretty easy to take off if you need to. i used to use it in electronics at school and i use it sometimes for my air line hoses when i need to.

I used the suction cup that came with the filter but its not what it for... but I just push it in and stopped the water somehow -.- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I tried to cut something else with this method.. I couldn't get the cut straight and I wasted some of the plastic board that I bought.. and I don't have many tools at home so yeah... need some practice to get a nice cut though.. :photo: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ned Posted June 1, 2007 Report Share Posted June 1, 2007 all you need is some hot glue sticks.. (6 pieces for like 2 buks) and a lighter (60 cents)... and your all set. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bettarazzi Posted June 1, 2007 Report Share Posted June 1, 2007 all you need is some hot glue sticks.. (6 pieces for like 2 buks) and a lighter (60 cents)... and your all set. Is hot glue completely inert once it sets? It won't leach chemicals into the water? I thought of using normal aquarium silicone but wasn't sure if it would stick to plastic. I think it probably won't. I'm trying to use a 13mm hose which standard for sprinkler systems. But I think the usual way to stop the end of sprinkler systems is to do bend the tube back on itself. But it's ugly and takes up room. You'd think there'd be a more elegant solution. But I guess gardeners don't care about that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bettarazzi Posted June 1, 2007 Report Share Posted June 1, 2007 I've got some of the Araldite. Does anyone know if that's fish safe? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kitstyles Posted June 1, 2007 Author Report Share Posted June 1, 2007 I'm not sure if would be fully sealed if you just bend the tube.. Because I tried before its still has water come out... Maybe you can use those glass clue... you know those which people use to stick tank together? I dunno how u call them but if you fill the end of the tube with this, it should stop the water... I am not sure if Ned was talkin about those clue? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bettarazzi Posted September 8, 2007 Report Share Posted September 8, 2007 For that kind of shelving to be properly stable you really need to bolt it to the wall or get a corner section and do an L-shape. Since your landlord probably won't approve you bolting the shelf to the wall, you have no choice but to do the L-shape. This will mean that you'll have about another 3 times the amount of shelf space that you have now. You need it that space anyway if you're going to keep and breed every kind of dragon. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Callatya Posted March 26, 2008 Report Share Posted March 26, 2008 Looking good Kitz! <-- is jealous! Not sure on Araldite, I can't see it being a problem other than it being quite brittle, but if you want to glue something like that superglue is fine and dandy. Few things that can't be fixed with superglue and/or silicone :betta: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
