Re: Bubble Tank DIY Plans


 

I got a couple for free along with a couple of air pumps, maybe someone was
using them as fish tanks.

They're about 250 x 200 x 75mm, perhaps a bit bigger than I'd like but for
the price I'm happy. I didn't realise they were vases until I saw something
similar in a shop.

I use CuCl to etch; I made lids for the glass tanks when not in use, but
also have them in a plastic tub (spills, glass and all that) away from my
tools.

I had found the guy on the web using the vase. Looked good to me. Then I
thought of using those square glass building blocks with the oval cutout
on one side. But in the end I am going to build the one from the Radio
Electronics magazine.

This sort of thing:

ago, that's what I use for etching.

You can also check scientific places for similar things, but beware of
sticker shock.

So I want to build a bubble tank. Anybody have any best methods or DIY
plans? I am pretty sure my boards will remain small for the foreseeable
future so I don't think I need an aquarium. :) I assume plastic is the
best after glass and likely no metal parts touching the solution. An
aquarium pump should work, proven designs are what I am after.

Thanks
