    Re: Solar heated water AP Greenhouse Build

    After drilling the horizontals (hole saw is the ID of the pipe)
    I cut the excess.
    I found that a rounded clipper works much better than a flat scissor top cutter.



    It was really neat, after cutting the piece, when joined they snapped together like legos.



    I cut about 20 horizontals. Using a drill press and a fixture to ensure consistent results.

    The fish tank will be in the ground inside the greenhouse. I'm thinking about 6 or 7 feet square 2-3 feet deep, should be a decent thermal mass.

    The solar water heater is rated at 60,000 BTU's

    That's were we stand as of this AM.
