Looks great Bud,
If you don't mind .... I see one concern????

This may be something that's been addressed since the pics but...I don't see a strain relief on that MH cord. Consider adding a splice box mounted to the end of that great hanging rig you built. That will act as a place for a water resistant splice as well as a strain relief.

Yer an entrepeneur and an engineering marvel Marc!

Yeah... to be honest, I hung the light just to show the set up, and burn in a little of the bulb. I simply hacked an outdoor extension chord and jammed it together with caps for now. I was going to use those "blade disconnect" terminals for the final product and have it all married behind one of the dividers.

Thanks, as always for your input bud. You like the rig I made to hang your reflector? Cheap and easy enough. The total weight of the rig is less than a few pounds.

Or electrocuted/blown fingers! Then I'd have to break out the beer holding hard hat I used when at Framingham State College

What are the odds Capt. G would come over and help if the beer was inhibited?

You mean the missing picture on the right wall to level the area out. I saw that too rob.

I love this idea and project. I cant wait to see how it looks with water and clams in it.

NeO · 01-10-2007, 10:37 PM

Well if he keep spending time in my basement he will never get that done

I did the meshwheel mod in my 2 skimmers today ER 5-3 and ER 8-2 Sedra 3500 and Sedra 5000 and David came to help drink some beeeeeeerrrrrssss

Dont worry Rob, we will get the next mod on tape too

Gustavo

PSH · 01-11-2007, 08:02 AM

That mesh wheel mod looks really cool. Still waiting for someone to get it working on the Coralife Super Skimmers. Might just have to find a used ASM to play around with.
