LOL - damn Veriann man, most impressive ! I shall forgive you for doubting you this round ! /SALUTE !

For round2, I hope to have my temp issues sorted out and actually get some livestock into my death-micro tank... (picking up a small heater at the weekend at a club meeting) ... perhaps i'll build myself a hood for my LED fixture as well ... im darn and determined to get some livestock sustainable and alive in this tiny thin now!

Perhaps we shall also find a few additional competitors, people insane enough to step up to the challenge ? eh eh ?

Veriann, what type of micro pump were you using and how did you throttle is back so as not to blow your cup of water from the back of the truck ? (pushing it through the mini-zeovit could a helped?) ...

I have my idea already, & my next one will be a keeper, this one i have to return to my boy in the fashion i found it..lol

As for next theme, your choice, as mentioned before, your the painter, so create your master piece.

Guys, orsome efforts all round - However im creating a new rule.
We take time & energy creating these, & by the sounds of it you guys would like to keep em running which is great! First few rounds i dont want what im about to suggest to apply ok We have to keep the momentum in play till this takes off with mulitble people in the fortnightly comp.

If every 2 weeks is getting on top of you, you now have the option of a "Pass & reflect token" - this will allow you to suspend a new build, but you have to revisit & update on any project you have completed up till this point!

If you guys are planning on keeping these running long term, you now have the chance of exposure for more than a few days show & tell.

What do you all think!

Lol, yep guilty as charged, yet there is a Ford Australian arm so i'll have to appeal to the courts on that one for at least half consessions..lol


DK, the pump unit is - well i dont know what it is, but it has a variable output knob, just fins you twist on the output to kill off the flow. Its hooked up so the filtration is not being pushed or forced, but being pulled by the output force with a special adapter. its got everything to do with pressure within the housing - kinda like science at the $2 level..lol Just think of it as a big or should i say tiny capilary system. If you want a close up im sure that could be arranged.


Im glad everyone like all the competitors master pieces.
If you refer to the below posting, you will have an oppertunity to revist each & every one of them as time goes by.

Couple days rest, then build off time again.

Who in for round 2 ?

I don't know if anyone can hold a candle to the trio. Ya'll set a new standard to Pico Championships! That would be some mighty tough competion to come up against. Maybe you could talk some of these young guns and new members into stepping up to the plate. Then everyone would be forced to start cooking with gas!

sweet, love the confidence -always good to have you in Mr T !
Show us no mercy with your red neck skills ok, cause im counting on you to not only destroy DK king of bling conceptually, but to actually use your feet on him as you would any welcome pub mat - as all english usually end up in that location at the end of the drinking night anyways..lol

I stuck my toe in the water on that build & the 2 vids we pumped out to see the results. I had more fun than i thought i would actually & have plenty of ideas to put in play, both on screen & off!

Lets gets some serious participation happening here -put your skills in the driving seat on an extremely affordable level & join the pico revolution.

Poke and prod and stir the pot to see what rises to the surface. Just hope that Great White isn't lurking beneath those calm depths.
