Ebn Posted August 4, 2013 Share Posted August 4, 2013 Murphy's Law always kicks at the least opportune moment. That's the third AC unit that I known of in this last month (last one costed a buddy an arm and leg since he had to have a new unit installed and then added a second one to cool the downstairs as well; all happened while we were on the coast at Hog Island enjoying some oysters and some shellfish). Might be coincidence but I've been dealing without AC for 13 years now as well. It's not really needed in the area since there's only like 2 weeks in the year or so when it gets above 90.

I wish I could go with out running the ac but it seems this house has poor insulation, so I have to run it a lot with a newborn- and oh I love my electricity bill Quote Link to comment
Squared Posted August 7, 2013 Share Posted August 7, 2013 Very interested in the way you built this tank. Was there anything really problematic for you when you made it? Quote Link to comment
Giga Posted August 8, 2013 Author Share Posted August 8, 2013 Very interested in the way you built this tank. Was there anything really problematic for you when you made it? This is 8th tank I've built and I've gotten pretty good at it that it was no issue. My tanks have two bottom panes of glass the provide two planes of adhesion-overkill sure-peace of mind-priceless kind of thing. So a perfect opportunity to give another tease-also did some major things,that this is looking like this will be unveiled at the end of the month or close to it 5 Quote Link to comment

Jacob042426 Posted August 16, 2013 Share Posted August 16, 2013 Does anybody know a good controller for these ldd that I can select intensity and then ramp it up and down sunrise/sunset for that intensity Boost Led Typhon maybe? or the DIM4? Quote Link to comment
Giga Posted August 16, 2013 Author Share Posted August 16, 2013 Boost Led Typhon maybe? or the DIM4? Ill look at those or maybe ill design one myself, any others? As I'm feeling kinda lazy about his aspect lol Quote Link to comment
jedimasterben Posted August 16, 2013 Share Posted August 16, 2013 The Typhon is what you want, either from BoostLED or Steve's. The one from Steve's, Meepnand is working on reprogramming to get a few features into it (like acclimation modes, cloud cover, etc). 2 Quote Link to comment
