thadscottmoore Posted March 6, 2011 Share Posted March 6, 2011 Yes Look back Maybe soon good, give me money In the spirit of unbiased constructive critique, I would be glad to volunteer my services as a tester- and I can give you an unbiased feedback on the product. So, just go ahead and mail me one- and of course as a professional, I will not tell anyone!!! heck, I will even waive my traditional tester fee! PS. In the event that this does not seem reasonable. Just pm me a pre-order cost. And, I will have my online accountant (aka paypal ) address the issue of payment in full for one! Link to comment
inTank Posted March 6, 2011 Author Share Posted March 6, 2011 Lol We need to tweak a few things then I will have a per unit cost. After that we can get them on the production schedule and will offer for pre-sale Link to comment

mdthompson Posted March 9, 2011 Share Posted March 9, 2011 That looks amazing! I've been thinking about converting a HOB filter instead of doing a full-blown sump/fuge just to have some chaeto and hide a heater. Perfect timing! Link to comment
thadscottmoore Posted March 10, 2011 Share Posted March 10, 2011 any updates? uh oh ordered shells for AC 110, 20 and 50 Link to comment
jeremai Posted March 10, 2011 Share Posted March 10, 2011 so stevie, if you need someone to test a unit in the field, let me know. Link to comment
jgpico Posted March 10, 2011 Share Posted March 10, 2011 Ok stevie now you need to make the overflow add on for all the popular ac models. Finally us pico diy'ers are getting some pew pew love. Cant wait to get mine!!!! Link to comment
StevieT Posted March 11, 2011 Share Posted March 11, 2011 What does the overflow add on do? Link to comment
jgpico Posted March 11, 2011 Share Posted March 11, 2011 What does the overflow add on do? Basically a box that would go around the intake tube of the ac filter and acts as a surface skimmer or overflow box. Link to comment
inTank Posted March 11, 2011 Author Share Posted March 11, 2011 Here are some photos of it testing which is done in salt water. I have filter floss in the top chamber to represent a mass of Chaeto. There is a 6.5oz bag of chemi pure elite on the bottom and a large sheet of floss in it's designed chamber. I also came up with a solution for the heater if one chooses to use it in the basket. It will be an add on part called the heater holder but that is all I will tell you know The top holes on the output are never used but they will stay for a just in case moment. I will be eliminating holes where I can to reduce the cost since that is where most of it comes from. Also I want 1/8" walls where possible to reduce cost which mainly is in laser cut time and not material. The pew pew pew'ing takes time and we all know what that equals. inTank would like to keep the cost on this units as low as possible just because of the comparative cost of the filter itself. We stive this on anything but this unit is shedding the light more than other products. Link to comment
jeremai Posted March 11, 2011 Share Posted March 11, 2011 I honestly can't understand why Hagen hasn't done something like this themselves before now. your insert takes a barely usable stock filter and makes it a perfect addition to a nano tank. steviet: real american hero. Link to comment
nor_cal_nano Posted March 11, 2011 Share Posted March 11, 2011 uh oh ordered shells for AC 110, 20 and 50 Okay. Now I'm ####ing interested. Link to comment
StevieT Posted March 11, 2011 Share Posted March 11, 2011 Uh oh Shells for AC 110, 20 and 50 arrived today. Link to comment
thadscottmoore Posted March 11, 2011 Share Posted March 11, 2011 eagerly awaiting! When you do release, I will be going with the 70 model... Estimated time of release? Uh oh Shells for AC 110, 20 and 50 arrived today. Link to comment
jdl Posted March 11, 2011 Share Posted March 11, 2011 what a tease... good thinking on heater holder!! have money me need also how much overspill is there from where the intake tube sits? Link to comment
StevieT Posted March 11, 2011 Share Posted March 11, 2011 also how much overspill is there from where the intake tube sits? So far just your standard amount that you had with the stock set up. I was worried about this but flow is flying through the basket. You can see the overflow pictured above. Estimated time of release? No idea not immediately but not very long either. I'm just teasing all of you with these pictures. This has been 2.5 years in the making so I am not going to rush it out without making it as close to perfect as we can. Link to comment
northstar1357 Posted March 11, 2011 Share Posted March 11, 2011 I love your marketing strategy. Attracts people with your title Link to comment
StevieT Posted March 11, 2011 Share Posted March 11, 2011 lol At first it was just WTF is this for, then some pictures and a lot of guessing which no one was right on. Link to comment
nor_cal_nano Posted March 11, 2011 Share Posted March 11, 2011 How much wider is the 70 than the 50? In other words, how much more space will I need between the tank and the wall. I've got a 50 and its touching... Tell me. Link to comment
thadscottmoore Posted March 12, 2011 Share Posted March 12, 2011 No idea not immediately but not very long either. I'm just teasing all of you with these pictures. This has been 2.5 years in the making so I am not going to rush it out without making it as close to perfect as we can. your killing me! So, in a couple weeks or couple months or couple more years?

StevieT Posted March 12, 2011 Share Posted March 12, 2011 One of your above guesses is correct. Link to comment
