Plan of Procedures

            This plan of procedure will detail exactly what steps I will go through in order to construct each part of the water flow system. This system will consist of pvc piping for the water transportation system and filtration system, environmental controlling devices such as air stones, salinity meters, water chillers, and thermometers, and materials to be used in the filtration system, which includes a fine mesh net and a bacterial solution.

Parts needed:

Part name		Quantity	Use
2” PVC piping		10’	Pipes
PVC 90 degree elbow		10	PVC elbows
PVC couplings		10	Connect pipes
Air stones		4	Add DO to water
Coolworks Ice Probe with power supply		1	Cool water
Coolworks Proportional Temperature Controller		1	Control water temperature
Aquarium Submersible Pump NP-80		1	Pump water through system
Fine mesh net		1	Filter water
Mainstays kid’s 10 gallon rope tub	1		Reservoir tank
PVC Tee 2” connector	2		Connect long straight piece to pipes

Tool name	Quantity	Use
Super glue	1	Seal holes
Drill	1	Drill in screws
Ruler	1	Measure
Band saw	1	Cut PVC
Drill press	1	Drill holes in PVC

Procedure:

1.      Take the 10’ piece of PVC pipe(P1) and cut 2” off with the band saw(T4). Cut the 2” pieces in half with T4.

2.      Attach 90 degree connector PVC piece(P2) to each of the 1” pieces with the PVC couplings(P3).

3.      Cut 50” from P1 with T4. Then cut the 50” piece in half.

4.      Attach each 25” PVC to the opposite end of the P2 attached to the 1” PVC pieces with P3.

5.      Attach P2 to the end of each 25” PVC pipes with P3.

6.      Attach PVC Tee connectors(P10) to the end of the P2 that are attached to each 25” PVC piece.

7.      Attach a P2 to the end of each end of each P10 with a P3.

8.      Using drill press(T7), drill 2” hole in side of Mainstay’s 10 gallon kid’s rope tub(P9) and seal with super glue(T1).

9.      Using drill press(T7), drill 1” hole in opposite side of Mainstay’s 10 gallon kid’s rope tub(P9) 1” from the bottom.

10.  Insert Coolworks Iceprobe(P5) and seal with super glue(T1) and attach Coolworks Iceprobe temperature controller(P6) with cables.

11.  Insert air stone (P4) in to each compartment of tank, connecting the tubes from the air supply to each stone.

12.  Cut slit in side of drainage pipe(supplied by Ms. Synek) with band saw(T4).

13.  Cut fine mesh net(P8) in to a 2 inch diameter circle and insert inside lip of drainage pipe.

14.  Hook pump(P7) on to inside of Mainstays kids 10 gallon robe tub(P9) inside the opening of the PVC 90 degree elbow connection(P2).
