So far, my cheapo homemade bubbler tank is working pretty good.
Don't know the total cost of everything but this is what it is...
A tupperware container I got from Walmart - about $2.00, Holds about
an 8" square board.
An aquaium pump, hose, and a bubbler stone (?) - about $7.00 at
Meijer (something like a walmart).
What I like - it's cheap.
What I don't like, the bubbler stones. I can't seem to get them to
stay on the bottom where I want them. I am going to, when I have
time, empty the tank of Ferric Chloride, and silicone the stones to
the bottom of the tank and see if that holds them where I want them.
I don't use a heater as I am 96.37% sure someone told me not too, so
I don't. I have not etched a lot of boards, about 15 or so, so
please take my comments for what they are worth :-)
