It occurred to me last night that a CPU case or tower may have been a better option. Lots of spots in the back for cable openings and provisions for a fan. Plus the existing power supply I have in some of the old ones I have laying around could power all the fans for the box and the heatsinks...

This build is starting to out wear its welcome. Like an uncle who stays too long at thanksgiving. Anyway I'm nearing the end. I'm setting up the remote box to house all the electronics. I also set up the power (blue and mixed colors will share a plug and white will be on its own plug...

Sent you a PM Dan

I’m not sure how helpful this is but worth mentioning because you’re still deciding. I have a SRO 2000 XP running on a 90g display with a 40g sump. I like the skimmer but it’s not as easy as I’d like. Basically it is too big for my sump. I built the sump and started with a bubble magus 6A...

I think he comes with a new look behind Foles. He liked Foles in Az and he likes a durable QB and hopefully that puts the question of Vick to rest FINALLY and ends that awful experiment - that choice got Reid fired, I don't see them paying Vick $12M or whatever he's owed to play next year. The...

Thanks again for the find Paul!!! Got it yesterday and it was a simple swap. The new power supply was listed on eBay as "2.5A" but looking at the label on the brick, it's listed as 2.2A. Still worked just fine. I shipped the bad one to EcoTech so I'll see what they come back with. I've heard of...

I know that smell well - just after it hit you, you saw the "shack". I swear if I'm in some other part of the world and smell "a bay" I could close my eyes and see the shack. Sad that it's gone. It's doesn't even compare to people's personal losses to Sandy but it's something that I remember...

Coincidence - I grew up 'in' Abington (Pa) and I hope to have a a Lamborghini one day (color TBD). [George - I think I saw your cousin at the maple shade custard stand back in the fall. I was drooling over the car]. Kidding aside, welcome. I'm in south jersey (Moorestown) and if you have the...

Matt - If your arm "dies" and falls off, I think the itching should be the least of your concern. just sayin'.....:grin:

Wow, you da man :). Thanks!! Ordered. PS. Ecotech page on RC I got a PM from the rep's private handle saying to send it in and he'd see what he can do. I think I'll do that also. Worst case is paying to ship. Best case is a cheap spare

Spot on Jose. Thanks. That is absolutely what it is. I'll try to get a better video. It's weird looking. I love the hidden ccritters lights are coming along Matt. Hopefully I have some time this weekend but NFL playoffs will be hard to not just sit and watch

Thanks Paul i think the jameco one I linked to covers that. It says its 2.50 Amps if I'm reading it correctly. I think I'll order it - with fingers crossed of course. I'm not sure ecotech deserves my money for that and the extra $25-30 just for the privlege of paying them... well I'm all for...

If you ever wondered what was in the trash compactor on the Death Star, I think it was one of these. The first video is using the IR light from a point and shoot. If you make it through that and just want more, the second one is blurry for the first 5-6 seconds. It's not easy to see. Look for a...

Has anyone replaced a power supply for an mp40 with a generic brick? It's a basic generic supply. Some no name brand. The old one is a 24v, 2.50 A PS. I got EcoTech to confirm the plug size is 2.5mm center positive. I found this - It's less than half the cost then the one from their parts store...

Get ready for that to grow FAST. Mine molts about once a month. I saw it just after and I thought I had 2 in there. Very cool to see actually. Generally I just find a piece of shell floating around.

Most I ever welded were some floor panels and trunk panels and they were ugly (and steel). My friend who had tack welded before but it was blind leading the blind. :o

Aluminum frame will sit on the tank frame. Plan was to save weight and bulk instead of all lumber. I wanted to do a full canopy frame of aluminum with a wood skin but with just rivets i thought it would be too unstable - I asked Santa for a MIG welder that could do aluminum (and a tutor) but all...

Work on the canopy underway. Step 1 is an aluminum frame. (I'm not sure I can adequately describe this design so I'll try to document as I go.) I drilled to attach the wood (using stainless) and want the frame to sit flat. The frame itself is drilled for rivets (screws will be secondary and...

How high off the surface do people have their lights?

I thought about the liquid tape. I may go that route where I see problems but I think I'd like to keep them serviceable. That's why I went with drill/tap/thermal paste instead of thermal glue. My heatsinks have a groove for a piece of acrylic but that leaves the sides exposed so I may silicone...
