Power Head camouflage

just found this on another forum but think the idea is a good one. Instead of glueing the rubble to the power head, I am sure a mold could be made from plexi that fits over the powerhead like a cage and then the rubble could be glued to that....this way if the powerhead had to be taken apart or replaced, it could be done easily.

 

materials required;

 

1 powerhead (your choice)

1 bag of LR rubble (can use dead)

1 tube of glue

1 scrap of plexi

1 small torch (to heat plexi for molding around powerhead)

Now that is a cool idea!

I wonder if you could use styrofoam to mould the covering and the glue the rocks to it?

You see what happens when you take a day off?

 

 

Your pump is ready for pick up and then you can look at the 36" hang on fuge box

I cut out and glued together last night.

I have some thin plexi you can try out, you scientist you.

Nify idea, BUT -- is that powerhead removable? Maybe it is, and if so awesome. But if not when the powerhead dies you've gotta do it all over again.

The whole idea would be to camouflage the powerhead and make it so it could be replaced and/or cleaned as needed.....add in one of the magnetic holders and you could really place it anywhere in the tank without it looking like an eyesore....i guess a hovering piece of rock may look strange though

Interesting idea. Unless the ph is towards the back of the tank, I also think the floating rock would look weird.
