English version of Jon Olav's DIY page

Welcome to my DIY page

These pages are part of my homesite, mostly written in Norwegian. I haven't bothered to translate the rest of the site since it is very Norway oriented. It doesn't contain that much text anyway, mostly pictures.

If you are interested in seeing some pictures of Norwegian native freshwater fish, check out my Freshwater organisms page.

These pages are not an exact translation of the Norwegian versions. They are rewritten and updated with knowledge I have gained since the projects were done.

Menu button 2200 litres Aquarium

Built with wood, glass and epoxy summer 2003.

Menu button Sandwiched composite aquariums

Built with fiberglass and plywood in 2006.

Menu button Chiller

210 Watts Woods DS12 air dehumidifier changed into an aquarium chiller.

Menu button Plans for a canister filter with back washing

My idea for lowering nutrient levels in the tank by getting detritus out before it decomposes.

Menu button Testing point pressure strength of pure epoxy

After doing this test I have changed my view on using fibreglass in epoxy coatings. I think it is best to use fibreglass when coating plywood for aquarium use.
