Derekcaudill Posted December 22, 2010 Share Posted December 22, 2010 local guy selling green bubble tip anemones for $20 would it be too risky to add it at this point? dont want it to kill a bunch of stuf its a good price! if you want one I say try it. just monitor it well. by the way how did you wire your ballast?

asstastic Posted December 22, 2010 Author Share Posted December 22, 2010 attached 4 wires to the yellow one and ran one to each endcap and jumped them all together and the other side had each red wire ran to an endcap and had jumpers tying all of them together too. i thought about the daisy chain idea too. but emailed fulham and nanotuners and thats how they described. and still a little POd that the one bulb burn out in first few minutes and they blamed the wiring...

Derekcaudill Posted December 22, 2010 Share Posted December 22, 2010 This is what I used from Fulhams website for the Workhorse 5. http://fulham.com/Find_Process.php http://www.fulham.com/WDpdf/wire7.pdf Link to comment
asstastic Posted December 22, 2010 Author Share Posted December 22, 2010 see how the yellow wire runs down to each one. i emailed them asking how to interpret that. they told me to cut 4 pieces of yellow wires a few inches long and attach them together at one side and connect it to the one yellow wire coming from ballast. essentially having the one yellow wire split into 4 and run one into each endcap and jump them all together.

Hmm. i dont really see how either way would make a difference. They are all sharing a common ground. I believe you just had a crappy bulb! did they replace the bulb? Also, do you feel your T5 setup is brighter than the PC setup? I know I replaced my PC bulbs with the PC-R UVL bulbs and they are great but I dont know if the T5-Rs are really that much brighter. If anything the may be less bright. Link to comment
asstastic Posted December 22, 2010 Author Share Posted December 22, 2010 nope. they didnt replace the bulb.... and yes my bulbs are brighter than the pc (the 3 of them) Link to comment
StevieT Posted December 24, 2010 Share Posted December 24, 2010 ordered media basket and skimmer...... So he orders these items and pays extra for 3 day shipping. ouTank ships the items right away in amazing fashion with amazing packing techniques. Then Jesus has a birthday and slows everything down like way down. Yeah you can't count weekends but really this long for 3 day shipping?!?! But on the upside wet water is on the way and Asstastic is a member name and not actually how he feels. Link to comment
asstastic Posted December 24, 2010 Author Share Posted December 24, 2010 asstastic is how im gonna feel when my package gets here Link to comment
StevieT Posted December 24, 2010 Share Posted December 24, 2010 Just wait till you see this pretty box, style every which way. Like an experience. Link to comment
asstastic Posted December 24, 2010 Author Share Posted December 24, 2010 i think i will take pics or maybe video of me getting my package and opening it. and playing with all my awesome new toys Link to comment
StevieT Posted December 24, 2010 Share Posted December 24, 2010 This is a grand idea this way many more will come to ouTank and purchase items that enhance their experience and pay for the ouTank private jet. Plus I will have a new video to steal and put on the site Link to comment
Derekcaudill Posted December 24, 2010 Share Posted December 24, 2010 this whole conversation between asstastic and stevie is making me feel like i should order the media basket and skimmer! would i get the same feeling???? Link to comment
Derekcaudill Posted December 25, 2010 Share Posted December 25, 2010 asstastic, I came across a great deal for an icecap 660, for just $50. It doesnt have the harness which is $30, so I am thinking of grabbing it up and replacing the WH5 with it. Hopefully after the holiday I will pick it and post the results. Link to comment

Feelings may or may not be replicated the same. But we put the same amount of effort into very inTank experience so yes you need to give it a try. Ride the inTank wave. Link to comment

asstastic Posted January 4, 2011 Author Share Posted January 4, 2011 its doing good. still breaking and tuning it in but pulling out dark water already. i recommend before putting it in tank to rinse it off and make sure impeller is seated right just to get you started right Link to comment
Derekcaudill Posted January 4, 2011 Share Posted January 4, 2011 is there a gap between your media basket and the false wall?? I have a LOT of water going around the basket. Link to comment
