Hi ppl,

Well after a week ive decided ill try and get an ap system up and going. I have a fish tank going allready in the form of a stock trough. Ive got a suitable flood and drain GB from work, ive seen reidy the local plumber to go and raid his off cuts for some vertical tubes. Also a pump is on the way. Heres my 5 minute plan, very rough but should be able to see what im trying, any advice would be great.

any comments would be great

Look like my standard welds :lol:. How many amps do you use to weld stainless like that Springa. I'm assuming it's a lot harder to use a stainless electrode than a normal one??

The part i did using stick, i went down to 50 amps, the rest i tig'ed that was at 80amps but i was moving faily quick to keep from blowning holes. I allso had filler rod in hand to avert any major holes on the fly.
