My "murder" project.

Thanks Guys.

lol does he like eating you neon tetras? and how big does your tank need to be for him O_O??

Once Wimpy discovered that the tetras were edible, the rest had to be evacuated to another tank. Not that Wimpy is much of a predator but the tetras were captive prey and over time, he would have eventually cornered and consumed another one.

His tank is 75 gallons - 4 feet.

About the 25mm holes ... Charles did indeed use the step-drill but now he will get this new tool from me that is still a prototype: click0r

How the heck do you fill/bleed that? The fillport is nowhere near the inlet of the pump.

It's actually easy. I tip the system on its face and attach a fitting with a long hose to the fillport. Then I tip the machine back and drain or fill.

I never understood the name "Murder Box". What does it stand for?
Imagine you are on a date with a woman and she asks "What do you do", and you answer "I make murder boxes". I bet she thinks she will end up in a coffin on the end of the date lol

I'm married so no worries there.

In a nutshell, the idea behind the name murderbox is twofold; one, it's a twist on the pop culture use of the word "killer". Two, I got the idea watching The Venture Brothers. There was a character named Dr Henry Killinger and he carried a "magic murder bag". The abstract yet powerful words "murder bag" really connected with me. The word murderbox felt like a natural fit for what I was doing. Plus the .com was available. My wife hated it at first but agreed to *allow* me to use it temporarily - till I thought of something else. She claims it eventually grew on her and said I didn't have to change it. My plan all along.
