Dave,
Just my 2¢, but that web-tronics offer seems fairly good to me. Not only
is it a molded tank (and as such definately never leaking), but made for
the purpose including hangers pump etc. I mean, even if you put your own
etching system together, you are likely to spend a similar amout of
money let alone the time you need to get the different parts etc.
The reason I see why one makes his own tank could be lead and delivery
time to get said tank though :-) I also made my own tanks over time, but
I must say I'm really impressed by this offer.
Again, just my 2¢ here....
