Well thats pretty much it!

i mounted my tank on the bottom of the pump for space constraints, an because i had this pipe exiting the bottom end of my container! It now sits as a pretty individual unit

And boy does it' bubble!

maplin.co.uk or rapidelectronics.co.uk has some good etchant. It's a clear etchant that does not stain half as bad as ferric chloride and is MUCH safer!

Maplin code N06CG @ about £2.50 for 0.5L of etchant.
Maplin code MC49D @ about £15 for 5 litres worth.

Plus... if you've made a lovely see through tank... you may want the added benefit of seeing the boards develop before your very eyes!

Next development - add a heater unit (it's on order from ebay (fish heater £6)... but i couldn't wait for it to get here before starting)

Hope you enjoyed
