Ghetto Rig

Your wife is definitely a keeper... Im in enough trouble with mine just with my electronics gear from building my custom tank controller, and my tank isnt even built yet!
 
I like the juice bottle and other stacked goods on top of the fridge to hold up the pvc....
I think there should be a forum called "How we do it in the ghetto" lol, but really
 
1 hour of my life well spent. This is great. I have so many ideas now. I got permission to try to set up a 20g long with nothing bought from a pet store. Dollar Tree and Dollar general only.... I love it when she gives me a challange
 
It took me forever to find the bathroom lights you guys were talking about. Why are you paying so much attention to his picture. :lol:
 
Anytime I see PVC free hanging across the ceiling, propped up by a juicy-juice bottle and then entering an exhaust fan I tend too perk up and pay attention. Not to mention the Electrical tape sealing the 90's.

Pssst.

I was at Staples the other day and they had these little black cases with lids and snaping arms. They were $1 - $3.

My first thought: I wonder what I could use it for in my tank?
Second thought: I need to post this in the Ghetto Rig thread.

Would be pretty fun to have a ghetto build contest.
 
Thats not a bad idea. We need to establish a maximum dollar amount that you are allowed to spend and then we can all go for it. To make it truly ghetto, we have to have a really low limit.:lol2:
 
Here we go!

Light "stand" made from 1x4's on one side, 2x4's on the other, and an old golf driver shaft holding the pendant

Edit: do I get extra points for the paint can sitting over the sump?

I always wondered what golf clubs were used for!! :D
 
Of course! That's why it's ghetto.
After several sessions with a piece of wire to clear it, I changed my dosing system to this local lab garage sale peristaltic pump with duel orange juice jugs and baked baking soda additives. Note also the skimmate collection container using another juice jug. Hey, I live in Florida.

I think the simply orange juice uses oranges from Brazil, doesn't sound correct but i noticed it on my bottles.

Edit: forgot to add, WOW!!!! This is making me feel good about some of the "temporary" things I have done with my systems. Although its a very close vote between many who should be embarrassed, The french onion dip is cream of the crop (pun intended)!
 
keep this going,there has to be more out there. There has to be some duct tape used by someone...somewhere.

Unfoutunately I have no prototype pictures of my coil denitrator tests runs....and they were ugly.....so was the redneck chiller= 100' 3/8" tubing on a loop ran down in my crawlspace under the house and back, yeah it worked enough. :)
