WP-40s!!! I have 2 in my 220g and love them! I was able to adjust the flow with the adapter and there perfect. Excited to see what's next. keep it coming!

I've heard great things from them. These really fill a hole in the market. It's either get a bunch of cheaper small power heads and place them all over or spend a grand on 2 MP40s. I was glad to give these things a try. I paid $196 for these 2, $22 for the E300 (I also have the E200 that will go in the sump. I wanted to have this heater in the DT to show the temp, I think the rock cement was $40 and the sump I got from Bob for $40.

are you wanting to inset the doors or are they going to be landing on the face of the cabinet?

I just bought a wp-25 for my tank 83 dollars shipped just got the email this AM will be here in 7-10 days cant wait! I have read great things about the knock offs currently it beats dropping 240ish on a mp-10 for a 30 gallon that i want to upgrade by the end of the year..

The door are going to lay against the face. I need new hinges. I'm going to get some black hinges from homedepot.

PM me where you are located. If you want to make it look good I can assist you and hook you up with very good conceled hinges @ cost of hinge like 1.5o i think it is and will drill and press them in for you.

 

[RNich34]

Thats quite ok. I prefer to do it myself. I'm trying to do everything myself so I can prove to myself that I can do it. Kind of an ego thing

 

[RNich34]

Sorry. Don't mean to sound like an *** or ungrateful or anything. Over just been planning and going over stuff 1000000000 times so I like to do it myself.

I ended up getting these hinges. They're an external surface mount, so I'm hoping that they will cover up some of the connection lines on the face of the stand. And add some more black color.

yea no problem the reasoning in my offer is your doing a GREAT job. This is the hinge Iam offering you. http://www.rockler.com/product.cfm?page=21311&site=ROCKLER

I have the machine to set the hinge properly and it will outperform the barrel style hinge and will rid you of the need for magnets. Offer stands. But you build is looking really good.
