I'm in the process of starting up a couple of extra aquariums in my garage ...all hopefully all will be revealed in the next few months.

While setting up I knew I had a couple of Eheim heaters. I started looking, could I find them, no. I did find my little 25 watt Eheim but not powerful enough for what I want.

So, still not being able to locate them, this week I picked up a couple of Superfish 150 watt heater thermostats, unfortunately my LFS doesn't sell Eheim so if nothing else I could get my Juwel 60 litre up and running.

Today. I wanted my bag of peat moss to start soaking and it's behind the car in a box where I keep my excess hardscape and substrate ...Guess what I found at the bottom of this box wrapped in bubble wrap, Argh!!!

So annoying when you waste money. :mad:

One aquarium short at the moment, plus I'm looking for an old 4" foot by 12" iron angle aquarium stand. Ideally one I can dismantle when not in use.

sounds like an exciting project, many updates with lots of pictures will be required! I'm sure you will find a use for the 'spare' heater.

I can never remember where I put things so I've given up feeling stupid when I find them after wasting money.....
If at first you don't succeed....

Anyone short of a fishy item, then ask @plankton to look in his equipment stock pile. :]
