SRC Member ervine Posted February 4, 2006 SRC Member Share Posted February 4, 2006 WOW!!! If you can do that that's three thumbs up for u!!! All the best bro! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SRC Member mUAr_cHEe Posted February 4, 2006 SRC Member Share Posted February 4, 2006 kudos for attempting such a DIY. But i think as to how many ways of value will very much depend on how many "ports" you want your tank to have right? Almost same as asking "how many powerheads should i be putting in my tank"? Catch my drift? Quote *translated from Hokkien* "If say no bang wall, this idiot will never ripen" - Mr Quah Siew Kow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ericlong Posted February 5, 2006 Author Share Posted February 5, 2006 how about the 2way valve, as 1 port blow another port suck..then switch over .This will creat alt. wave on the suraface, what i worry that some small fish might be suck into the port when it swim to near.

Davidtan Posted February 8, 2006 Share Posted February 8, 2006 Hi Ericlong Very interesting & nice built-up , where do you buy these pumps etc from, have been thinking of doing something like that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SRC Member ervine Posted February 8, 2006 SRC Member Share Posted February 8, 2006 i'm more interested about how you seal the joints esp the motor part, how can you rotate it but still keep the water in under pressure? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SRC Member rickster88888 Posted February 8, 2006 SRC Member Share Posted February 8, 2006 I am also very curious how you seal the motor shaft area without water leaking out! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
