Sup peep's.......
The time has come for me to post up my steps in building a bubble cloner....
Well today i had to go out and buy a few things, mainly plumbing pieces, and a few other bits and pieces from bunnings. Oh and a 10 metre length of RCA's for my time lapse camerara....but that will be this weekend's job!
The things i used:
-aquarium air pump 8L per min, twin outlet
-2 x 12" inline airstones
-2 x 1m 4mm airline hose
-3" holesaw (i bit the bullet and went and bought one, chinese shit one tho)
-3" net pots
-polystyrene foam
-6mm foam sheet
-i used a 28L tub (preferably black as white and light attracts algie growth)
-aluminium reflective tape
-stanley knife
-measuring tape/rule and a marker
-21mm drill bit for the grommet
-19mm rubber grommet a 19mm double ended male extender a 19mm inline valve (all INSIDE DIAMETER measurement's as im using soft irrigation hose for drainage.the OD is 25mm)
-co-polymer adheisive (salastic), most silicone's wont work on PE, and PP (polyethylene and polypropylene)
(p.s i went down to JB HiFi and got my polystyrene foam from them, as big companies like that have excess from their box packaging)
Any questions, Query's and comments....Please lay them down and i will gladly explain the process and try to help as much as i can.
I didnt show it with water or the pump and airstones running as i will wait a further 24hrs for the salistic to properly seal the grommet inplace.
Any Rep+ would be great, considering i have got salistic all over my fingers and the keyboard....not to mention all the little balls of polystyrene fucking EVERYWHERE!
(
note to self.... cut foam somewhere thats not on your own property and totally away from wind, hahahah) Over the road neighbours copped it all from the wind, poor bugger's gonna be picking balls out of his garden for the next few X-Mas's thats for sure!!!!
oh yeah i gave myself one of these for making it insulated and with a drain! its a bit ghetto but i like it
....And fuck knows why that photo is down there?????
