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 :-) Chris
