DaveFason Posted January 18, 2010 Author Share Posted January 18, 2010 Thanks guys. I do not have a cover. I am taking a risk but so far so good. I think if I keep him well fed there is no reason to leave -Dave Link to comment
DaveFason Posted January 19, 2010 Author Share Posted January 19, 2010 Call me crazy. I am have been tossing the idea around to buy a sherline milling machine. Maybe even a CNC.... I think there is a huge market out there for nano sized aquarium products.... Ideas..... -Dave Link to comment
divecj5 Posted January 19, 2010 Share Posted January 19, 2010 I definitely think there is a market out there for nano-sized aquarium products...just not sure which products would be the most "successful." How much would the milling and CNC run you total? I guess that would determine how large you want to go with what you create. Link to comment

DaveFason Posted January 19, 2010 Author Share Posted January 19, 2010 After everything I would need around $1500. This would be for a small unit programs and all included. I did this all through high school but with paintball I never went through with it. I will see how my tax returns look and if it would be worth it. I would like to build....

DaveFason Posted January 19, 2010 Author Share Posted January 19, 2010 Or a DIY CNC router for DIY work. Its time to research. -Dave Link to comment
Uhuru Posted January 19, 2010 Share Posted January 19, 2010 Would you be able to make cones? You have an email... Link to comment
Ebn Posted January 20, 2010 Share Posted January 20, 2010 Got any pics of the box that you picked up from target to house the dosers? Interested in seeing what it looks like since I'm out of space in my stand for my current build (ADA 32g with 2 MP40w ). Link to comment
DaveFason Posted January 20, 2010 Author Share Posted January 20, 2010 Uhuru - I am looking now. Give me a few days to research. Ebn - Here you go. Just buy a door for it and your good to go. http://www.target.com/ITSO-Storage-Cube/dp...=storage%20cube -Dave Link to comment
DaveFason Posted January 20, 2010 Author Share Posted January 20, 2010 I just hooked up my SpectraPure unit. You can tell that they hand build each unit, its a tank! I am only getting a 6:1 ratio and want to get it around 4:1. Anyone have any tips? Well I am going to go through with the project. My own DIY CNC router! It should take me 4-6 months to finish the build. It will be able to cut 32"x25". I will make sure to update this site with the build along with the DIY blog I am putting together. This way I can build things for myself, locals and on here. Here's what I will be attempting... http://8020cnc.com/ -Dave P.S - Wish me luck Link to comment

DaveFason Posted January 24, 2010 Author Share Posted January 24, 2010 Thanks guys. I will try to keep up to date on our small side of the hobby. It seems like the nano side always falls under the cracks. I will do nTOTM and a bunch of other cool stuff. -Dave Link to comment
bitts Posted January 24, 2010 Share Posted January 24, 2010 found the blog, looking forward to it. Link to comment
divecj5 Posted January 24, 2010 Share Posted January 24, 2010 Nice start to the blog Dave. Looking forward to following along as well. Link to comment
DaveFason Posted January 24, 2010 Author Share Posted January 24, 2010 Thanks guys. Well I was going to update it and my Macbook's hard drive crashed. Sweet.... No one happens to have a spare 2.5" hard drive laying around do they? -Dave Link to comment
spencers Posted January 25, 2010 Share Posted January 25, 2010 I have a 100gb and 80gb, both 2.5" SATA. But they might not be big enough for your needs. Link to comment
DaveFason Posted January 25, 2010 Author Share Posted January 25, 2010 spencers - you have a PM! I should have time to get some pictures after work. Look out for updates! -Dave Link to comment
Deleted User 6 Posted January 25, 2010 Share Posted January 25, 2010 I snagged a 1TB external for $100 recently - hard drives are incredibly cheap these days. Not sure about one that fits in a mac though - my mac's drive never crashed. Link to comment
DaveFason Posted January 25, 2010 Author Share Posted January 25, 2010 Thanks DHaut. I have found a few but it seems like everything is hitting me at once. Car, laptop and my phone took a poop. Hopefully I can find a cheap hard drive and I am waiting got spencer to shoot me a PM back. -Dave Link to comment
DaveFason Posted January 29, 2010 Author Share Posted January 29, 2010 Sorry for the lack of updates. I just got my Macbook running after the crash ( Thanks Spencer ). Anyways I have been planning out my LED project. I have some really cool stuff planned so stay tuned. I have my tank on RC's nTOTM too, so PLEASE go vote! With the computer back and running its only right to post some new pictures so look out this afternoon. -Dave Link to comment
