DIY Heater
I Have been searching all over the intranet and trying to find someone who has made a heater. What i am proposing is a water heater element on a thermostat, we have a 4 or 500 gallon system running on a jaquzi pump with a 220v in line heater on that and thats does superior job of keeping it up to temp. now we have a a system thats kind of like walmarts set up, it is from marinland its a comercial setup it is 6-75 gallon tanks with 3 high on each side (7'high by 2 wide by 9' long or so), big sytem so we have it going but want 2 find a way to heat it? Like in line, I have found People who take water heater elements and use them on ponds. I just havent had any luck on finding a Diy schematic, oh and i will be posting alot of pics here real soon. justin101
