Subman's Jump into the big leagues (225g)

I had thought about the heat building up but the only thing producing heat is the Radion ballasts and they barely produce any heat. If I was still running halides I would have a fan pressuring the box to also force any humidity out (still might for that reason). Also the front is going to be a magnetic skin so it's not sealed in the front.

Couldn't find the eeepc but I did come across my old convertible pc. The screen folds over to become a tablet.



Its sitting with the keyboard down so I locked it out and only use the stylus and remote log in to use it.



Also got the light rack built and hung today



It's aluminium angle that I made a box out of and the Radions just sit in the channel







I know it looks like the the sol is 10x brighter in the last pic but the radions were only at 20% when I took it.

Lights look great, and nothin' like not havin' to run a cable to the PC.
Plus no ground loop issue

Your lighting, with the frame you built looks very impressive. I'm now trying to talk Deborah into letting me do something similare so that I don't have to take the time to build a canopy

thats the perfect use for a Sol.....out of the way where you cant see it and all its loveliness


starting to look like the starship enterprise in that box of yours.....very cool!

It's been a while since I updated because of this..

Gokart season has started, thats my 9 year old on his first practice day. We had our first race of the season today and he got third place in the main and was top qualifier in his first race! I am a very proud papa.

Anyway back to the tank the plumbing is done finally..I had to cut it out 4 times because I had a tiny drip from one of the drain lines. After the fourth time cutting and patching I decided to cut the whole line out and start from scratch. No drips yet


Two rio 32hf good for 1600+ at 5ft head each!




I started filling with my ro unit and after the entire weekend... sump isn't yet full looks like it will be Christmas by the time its full

[Mike-fish]

what ro unit are you using

[subman]

Its one I had for dinking water, I think from Costco. The speed was never a problem before as I have a couple of containers in my storage room that it fills (slowly) and I get my top off/ mixing water from that. Just impatient now lol
