To see a large cylinder reef, you can go to 37 FLATHEAD and see a tank my friend set up. It`s in my gallery there & I don`t know how to link a photo from my gallery to this forum. I think it`s 600 gals. There`s also a link on one of the photos to a cylinder in Berlin Germany that has a glass elevator inside it, that travels from the depths to the surface.

Here`s the link to the 600 gal. cylinder.

Teddan,
Var i kungsbacka bor ni?
Jag studerar i usa, men min farmor bodde lite söder om Gärdet, (vi bor dar under sommarlov), och min moster bor nara Gottskär.

 

[Opcn]

For those of us who are not yet fluent in swedish there are online translators, lets see what they have to say.


Number one

Each in kungsbacka ought yous? Self study in America , but mine grandmother lived few south if Gärdet , ( wes ought dar wonder summer ), and mine aunt ought nara Credit.


Number two
Each in king back ought yous? Self study in America, but mine grandmother life curse few south if the field, (wes ought dar wonder buzzer), wild duck mine aunt ought nara Credit.

I say we go with number one.

 

[lucubrator]

Very interesting translation, but sort of unnecessary, especially if you don't live in sweden.

 

[Opcn]

I didn't realise how unnecessary it would be till I ran it, then I had run it and figured I would show it to othrs, even though it only made it about halfway to a translation.
Please tell me that Wonderbuzzer and Wild Duck were not part of the intended message.

 

[Teddan]

Thanks

Iam thinking about doing mine 1/2in thinck ~1.2cm for the cylinder, than 3/4in ~1.8cm on the bottom.

I had a friend run it through an engenering program and it sad that the 1/2in is 500 times stronger than it needs to be to hold the water.

Is the top of your braced?


That tank is very nice!

 

[Teddan]

bigdscobra Yes the top is braced .
