Backyard Aquaponics
A place to discuss aquaponics

probably even worse if you try and weld the joint without removing the zinc first. both for the ailment and the weld!

So are aquaplated tanks okay for fish

Too bloody late now.....ordered mine

well, the aquaplate is a barrier between the tank and the water.

LOL, so two pages on i think that data shows the same thing as last time........probably ok with a neutral or slightly basic ph, but questionable for PH sub 7

alkaline

got a 50/50 chance of being right

When welding, have a small house fan blowing across the area (it worked for me)

The zinc burns off before you get to the welding temp. But you should grind anyway to remove oxide etc.

might be some confusion, i was talking about arc welding.

I do it for arc and mig, I find it easier if the smoke/fumes are pushed away whilst welding ( Then I go and have a ciggie )

yeh, i was responding to njh post

lol...shit next we gunna be askin if breathing is bad..........gal pipe used be used AS water pipe.........and is prob the best alternative ...I think the wheel has already been invented hey...aka the gal water tank...and i seriously doubt that the temps used for heatin a fish tank will change any molecular structor enough to harm anything

isnt the saying "everything in moderation" true?

Lead used to be used as water pipe as well BK, but we learnt from that over time... Lead's symbol Pb is an abbreviation of its Latin name plumbum. The English word "plumbing" also derives from this Latin root. Now no one would ever consider using it for plumbing..

yo BK, the temperature thing is to do with welding, and i think is just a hi-jack from the original topic. LOL so easy to get confused

but arent your tanks gal??????????????????

aquaplate lined.......
