Alan Posted April 6, 2005 Report Share Posted April 6, 2005 I did something similar with a worm feeder. Now I sterilise plastics using chemicals. Alan 104 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Caryl Posted April 6, 2005 Report Share Posted April 6, 2005 You get a similar effect if you put Tupperware on a hot element, except a little more localised warping :lol: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Staplez Posted April 7, 2005 Report Share Posted April 7, 2005 It looks like it could still work. Have you given it a go? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thunderstorm Posted April 7, 2005 Author Report Share Posted April 7, 2005 yup, its actually arched as well which you cant really tell from the pic. doesnt work to well, but i have another idea for a diffuser which im going to try out Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jude Posted April 7, 2005 Report Share Posted April 7, 2005 I did that once, with a plastic laundry basked. But because i was busy running after three pre-schoolers at the time I just turned off the element when I realised what was happening. Later that day I went to move said basket and it had set solidly to the element ........... which dumbo should have realised it would do :oops: :oops: So I had to melt it again to remove it :oops: :oops: :oops: Cheers Jude Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
suphew Posted April 8, 2005 Report Share Posted April 8, 2005 I have feed CO2 into the air intake hole on power heads before, but the best I ever managed was to drill a hole close to the pump end on an external filter outlet hose, push in one of those air line joiner thingies and connect the CO2, it was well defused by the time it can out into the tank. Just make sure the CO2 unit is above the tank level so you don't get a syphon when your gas runs out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

suphew Posted April 8, 2005 Report Share Posted April 8, 2005 CO2 diffuser Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thunderstorm Posted April 8, 2005 Author Report Share Posted April 8, 2005 hi, yup a CO2 diffuser. Suphew, yup, im doing what you suggested now, and the bubbles get split into millions of tiny bubbles by the pump an you can see them getting absorbed by the water when they get blown into the tank Seems to be working quite well Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
