Reef-Rat Evolution
 
Still alive and kickin', been busy with all sorts of projects but figured I'd let you see where the Reef-Rat design is at.

Rat head-on... all dressed in black now

Rat with Euro-Brace/Acrylic tank mounting bracket

The Jet-Nozzle has undergone some mods.... i.e sch80 pipe to boost pressure and nozzle speed.

Pretty ordinary looking power cord ....

Actually this is a 24vac jack... inherently safe low voltage. A big plus if you worry about stray voltage and dipping your equipment occasionally...

Basically these new Rats are dressed in black and are 24vac... can be used with a wall plug power transformer anywhere in the world.... :eek:

Not yet.... Have a second unit in the Rat-Werks and it should be completed by weeks end.

Basically I'll let them run for a few weeks first. The design is proven, it's the new motors and wall adapters that I'm out to durability test.

My high time Reef-Rat is a 2 rpm unit and it was a year old last October, so I guess that's a good sign eh!
