jedimasterben Posted May 28, 2014 Author Share Posted May 28, 2014 Hooooolllyyyy ####. So Zia said that he runs his single Durso drain 5-6" below the water line in the sump and it doesn't toilet flush, is silent, and doesn't microbubble theshit out of his tank..... and holy ####, he's right. I stuck a longer piece on it, and BAM. It's silent other than the bubbles popping now, which is whisper quiet. Oh my god. ALL HAIL THE MIGHTY ZIA Link to comment

jedimasterben Posted May 28, 2014 Author Share Posted May 28, 2014 thus the reason I did away with running filter socks and just left the flex tube hanging in the sump. Yep, eff socks, I'm way too lazy to replace those once every few weeks, much less every couple days. Link to comment

NirvanaandTool Posted May 28, 2014 Share Posted May 28, 2014 Bought it second hand, though it was new. I guess the guy didn't have the original box. Ah gotcha. How'd it hold up in the water test? Link to comment

Viking Posted June 1, 2014 Share Posted June 1, 2014 Have the rocks started melting under that light yet? My daughter wants your Kitty... like our 3 aren't enough... Link to comment
jedimasterben Posted June 1, 2014 Author Share Posted June 1, 2014 Have the rocks started melting under that light yet? No, I made sure to tone it down except for my testing lol. About 200 PAR on the sandbed, uncorrected, just from the LEDs. Will get some more accurate numbers hopefully tomorrow. Was planning on really playing around with it today but I've had a major headache for the better part of this afternoon/evening, go figure. My daughter wants your Kitty... like our 3 aren't enough...

NirvanaandTool Posted June 2, 2014 Share Posted June 2, 2014 I give it a month til you redesign it when something new comes out JK looks awesome man. Congrats on getting it finished. Link to comment
jedimasterben Posted June 2, 2014 Author Share Posted June 2, 2014 Oh, I'll always have something in the works luckily, this one will be incredibly difficult to do anything more than just a straight swap of LED stars thanks to how the wiring is run, so that gives me incentive to stop dicking around with it all the time lol Link to comment
