I was just wondering what everyone uses to mock up their plumbing and tank mock ups. You guys all have great designs that you're able to visualize with these great programs. I'd like to use what you guys use since it looks like I will be upgrading to a 40g breeder.

Thanks in advance!
 
Hey Durwin, got your PM.

I used Google Sketchup, it's free and pretty easy to use. I have a bunch of templates I can share with you to.
 
Like Tony said it can do almost anything, but diagramming bulkheads and stuff like that can be a bit of a pain in the ass.

They have this whole warehouse thing:

There are a lot of plumbing parts in there, what I do is explode them larger 3" pipes and 'ish and then change the whole scale of it down to what we use for our aquariums.
 
Very cool...some of those models are amazing!

Thanks for the 3D warehouse tip. Looks like they have all the plumbing fittings and pipes in there.
