Just finishing up on three different tank farms - enjoy

I need to add rubber for the hoses (I use RC Airplane gas lines). The piping swivels 360 degrees.

The piping is missing - I shipped it with earlier product to the customer. I was hanging onto this tank farm until the spherical tanks were done. The tanks are 6 inch diameter Plastruct tubing that Plastruct graciously cuts for me since I tend to use a lot of 9 inch long pieces. Even with a table saw cutting a 6 inch diameter tube is difficult.

The spherical tanks are easy to build. I used either 5 inch (first pictures) or 6 inch (below) plastruct hemispheres. I cut a solid circular piece of plastic (much easier than cutting out a ring and having to size it) then glue the hemispheres to both sides.
