Hey Dusty, I'm new to this also. Yesterday was my first attempt and let's just say that I was half successful.

Here is a breakdown on what I'm using-

Etch- old 3 gallon 'kitty litter' bucket (HDPE)

Desmut/Deox- 7 gallon (28quart) Coleman cooler

Anodize tank- same as above. Cathodes are 6"x12" 6061 plates I found at Westlakes. Rectifier- Mastech 30v 6amp unit.

Quick dip in baking soda (1lb) mixed with 2 gallons of water.

Dye is another kitty litter bucket. Fishtank heater (200w) to bring it up to @80

Sealer- 28qt (7gal) Coleman cooler. Three 300w heaters

Years ago I purchased a reverse osmosis filter so I have pure water. I was afraid to boil the water in my sealer bath. Got it up to @160-170 tho.

Almost forgot aeration- fish tank pump split to ano & dye tank.
