Re: 87 Wayne Lifeguard international S1700 CXXVI
thanks for the tank calculations guys, once i find out for sure i will let everyone know
my second tank im going to use for a for black shows as being 59.5x12x10. when i calculate that one on the on-line calculator from Nat_ster it give me around 140 gallons, and i know that isn't correct. I'm going to try some aquarium calculators.

Re: 87 Wayne Lifeguard international S1700 CXXVI
59.5 x 12 x 10 = 7140 cu in divide by 1728 (1 cu ft) = 4.1319 cu ft x 7.48 (gal per cu ft) = 30.9 gallons = Roger Nat

Re: 87 Wayne Lifeguard international S1700 CXXVI
Turned out great, I have always wondered...every time I see that wall....what are you doing for back splash?
Every time I open the thread, I can't wait to see....it's still not done

Thanks bansil,
I'm thinking some kind of linoleum or vinyl tile, i just haven't gotten there yet. I want something that can be glued to both the range black splash and the side wall that is Farly light and can be wiped down easily. i have been keeping my eyes open when i visit the re store. i am always open to suggestions

Re: 87 Wayne Lifeguard international S1700 CXXVI
After our first trip and having to clean all counter tops from,grease and spills etc, as well as crumbs in between wood
I had a bunch of sheets of lexan 1/4 in and made covers for the counters.
When not being used or in transit they get tucked away between wall and cabinet
I am maybe thinking 2 part epoxy this spring, like bar tables...easy clean,smooth and would look good(just have to seal underside gaps)
For Me the material was cheap (free)

thanks Bansil,
i wonder if i could make a back splash out of the vinyl used in making shower walls? it would be easy to clean. i tried to using 2 part bar top epoxy to try and repair a solar panel it never cured properly and i had to remove it.it could be i had the proportions off, didn't mix it enough or i had bought poor epoxy, because it have seen some cool tables done with it.

Re: 87 Wayne Lifeguard international S1700 CXXVI
looks like you have plenty of space from flame to wall, so heat shouldn't be an issue
I would take it all the way up the wall so anything pulled by fan can be cleaned

Re: 87 Wayne Lifeguard international S1700 CXXVI
Okay. So... I'm glad your hands aren't all hairy and weird like former Teen Wolf here:
I GET that some of it is dirt and grime, but there is a LOT of knuckle hair there. A LOT.
