Wes, I get the same thing with "computers." Most folks are unable to differentiate the many different fields of IT. A couple years ago when I first got into IT as a career, people would ask me all kinds of off the wall things about, and be taken aback when I had no idea what they were talking about. That has changed considerably, but there are still things I am a newb at.

Incidentally, I can do residential wiring like nobody's business. On the flip side, while I get your signature, some of the other electrical things you mentioned left my head hurting.

I dont want to hi-jack but does having the wave maker help the tank out, is there a pro to this vs just using a reg hydor

rayk · « **Reply #71 on:** May 06, 2010, 09:02:09 »

Nice look. How does the black vinyl work out on the back? Does it stay put, bubble at all? Where would I order some from?

Thanks,

Same I would be interested. Maybe you could compile a list of tank dimensions and the size vinyl (plus a little extra for us novice appliers) and make a cost list. I know I would rather use vinyl than paint.

BTW I grew up in Lima. Awesome tank room setup and tank. You have put a ton of work into it and it shows. Keep up the good work!
