Sorry for being a complete idiot, I know absolutely nothing...that will fit my 43mm pipe? Thanks.

Both pipes are plastic. The 43mm pipe is a waste pipe, connected directly into my outside drain. (it used to be connected to a now removed belfast sink) I want to connect this 43mm waste pipe to my aquarium, for easy water drainage, this is drilled at the bottom and can only use 32mm pipe due...

Hi, I need to connect a 43mm pipe to a 32mm pipe (both outside measurements). I am having trouble finding a reducer that does this...does one exist? Thank you.

I want to connect the following to a regular hose pipe (12/16mm): http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Waterproof-LCD-Baby-Digital-Shower-Head-Temperature-Tester-Thermometer-/222366273747?var=&hash=item33c61010d3:m:mBSNXrmCe0801XSFf2WujbA or this...

That does sound easier. How does the extra depth channel work in lifting out the glass for cleaning etc? I can't imagine it in my head, sorry.

Glass or acrylic door, yes.

Yes, they would be. I assume this would be using a channel on the bottom and top for sliding? The only negative being that there would be a line in the middle if you see what I mean, where the two pieces of sliding glass meet/overlap?

How would you handle the door to the cabinet as well? Trying to keep it as sleak as possible, room has a modern feel to it. Grey floor, white walls, black gloss furniture.

Thanks John, to be honest...that's what I thought. I'm getting quotes locally for around £12 per shelf for the size above. That would be in 4mm or 6mm as recommended by supplier. Do you (or anyone else) know anywhere cheaper online? I have 3 large cabinet to fill (the other two are bigger than...

Hi, I currently have 3 in wall spaces that I intend to use for display cabinets. I am debating between glass and acrylic shelving. I like acrylic because I've broken a few glass ones in the past (I'm an idiot) but am worried about it flexing? It also seems cheaper than glass. For example...

Thanks guys, good suggestions and food for thought. The Teco looks good, but you know...expensive. :cry: Before I got that, I think I'd see how it goes first with cheaper options. But something maybe for the future. Thanks Omega, I get it.

Yes, that's correct. Just need to make sure it is below 9L/min. No need for it to be ever above. So that looks good! Thanks. Yeah, it's usually around 26°C in the aquarium. 5°C either side of that not a problem. As long at the temp in the tank doesn't shoot up or down really quick, fish will be...

Yes, the hose is permanently connected to the mixer taps too. I can remove, but the aquarium does have it's own set of taps just for use with it, so no need really. It's also plumbed in for water changes, so I just open a valve and the aquarium drains though a hole in the glass. You really need...

Hi, Sorry yes, for pressure I just mean flow rate. The water enters the aquarium right away via a permanently attached hose. As long as the temperature reaches an acceptable level fairly quickly, then it's fine to go in a colder first and then the rest heated to around the correct...

Hi, I am using a 16/22mm flexible hose to change water on my 1300L aquarium. I need to do this each week. It would be very useful if I could tell the temperature of the water flowing through the hose, and also it's pressure (I can only run 9L per minute though my carbon cannister - make the...

What I was thinking, but I don't know if sufficient, is to leave the 50mm gap behind the Kingspan going up to the top ridge, and then leave a gap there too, for the air to flow over the top of my 'insulated box' down to the hidden eaves that will be well ventilated. Ridge vent does seem like it...

Hi. sorry for being an idiot. Can you elaborate what you mean? I think you mean put a vent the entire length of the loft on the flat roof side of the ridge tiles? So this sits behind the Kingspan in the 50mm+ gap? Then a tile vent in every truss gap? There are 15 truss gaps on each side. Cheers.

Hi, Background We've recently moved into a 1980's built bungalow. The loft is a standard truss design extending about 10m in length. There is a layer of non breathable old type felt below the roof tiles. The loft is ventilated on one side by a full length trench vent. On the other side, the...
