<p>i have 3 ibcs i cut in half for growbeds, a ft, and a sump, cut the cage in half as well.. only one half had a rail on top, so i just flipped the other half over so that the "posts" are on the bottom, and the rail on top..easy peasy</p>

<p>Thank you guys for getting back on topic. I almost didn't come back here. Hate it when that happens.

<p>I pretty much cut my IBC's the way Jim did, then took a metal file and rounded off all the sharp metal, both on the insides (dia) and out sides of the IBC's pipe/cage where I had done any cutting. I did this so that my wife, some kid, or myself, do not potentially get cut one day. Don't see why anyone with the sticking up pieces couldn't just do the same? It doesn't really take that long (and I had 8 iBC's)...</p>

<p>Hey Vlad and Rupert, now that I am settled into my easy chair I will try and answer better. (Sorry, no line by line response here)</p>
<p>I felt that Rupert was indicating by his language that between those 2 sources "Here ya go guys and gals... how to build an IBC system...

<p>Hey Vlad and Rupert, now that I am settled into my easy chair I will try and answer better. (Sorry, no line by line response here)</p>
<p>I felt that Rupert was indicating by his language that between those 2 sources "Here ya go guys and gals... how to build an IBC system... (without jagged edges).. from start to finish..." was a little over board not to mention abrasive. I watched every vid and downloaded every pdf and cut and pasted my own 20+ page bible from various forums wisdom before I even broke ground. I actually was in the end disappointed with the details in that pdf while at the same time very grateful as stated above, for all the hard work that went into it. My very simple point was and is: there is a great deal more out there than just those 2 sources and while they should be in everyone's library (as stated above) they are not the be all and end all of AP and as stated: I stand by my statements. I did come to the conclusion that while the pictures were great the descriptions and details were not as complete as I had hoped and I had to do lots more of my own research in the end. </p>
<p>Oh and I do (back to the original purpose of this discussion) see way too many folks trying so hard to deal with those jagged posts, coming up with all sorts of strange solutions, and wanted to offer an alternative. (just cut them the hell off:-)</p>
<p>I don't think that complimenting this forum, as a member of the other forums as well and seeing the problems there (like suddenly loosing 6 out of 13 pages of a thread), should be taken so unkindly. I like it here. And perhaps that IS because it is Yank based. I dunno. (That Aussie thing was meant as a joke) And I do find the format here much more user friendly<a style="cursor: pointer;"><img src="http://www.bkserv.net/images/Smile.gif"/></a> The photos for example do show up in order right away in real time. They do NOT at the other 2 forums.</p>
<p>And as to the 3D MS tool, I still found it relatively useless (I know where S is) and if we were to put together a member system pdf I still don't think it is worth all the extra effort that that entails, as impressive as it is. These are my opinions and need not be taken so to heart. Lighten up! </p>
<p>And yes every one of these forums are based upon a core commercial center and the pdf is designed, while very helpful, to help steer us toward that BYAP forum for more answers and the store or lessons or whatever. And that includes Sylvia's forum. So please get real on that. And again, no harm in that at all but it does explain a few things whether intentional or not. They are paying to host the forums and we respect that. (otherwise I would be pushing my siphons on here just as an example)</p>
<p>Well I hope we can put this edgyness to bed. Taking a post apart line by line I find a bit of an affront. I used to have a friend that did that all the time. Used to<a style="cursor: pointer;"><img src="http://www.bkserv.net/images/Grin.gif"/></a> If I missed something TOO BAD!</p>
