BattleAthletics Posted February 9, 2014 Share Posted February 9, 2014 Me too, at first I wanted an RA, but I'd hate to program it. A friend of mine gave me a acjr with dc8, I'm not gonna use it now. Hey a new jbj on amazon is like 60ish I think. In other news I'm addicted to this game called 8 ball pool on the phone. Link to comment

Hey a new jbj on amazon is like 60ish I think. In other news I'm addicted to this game called 8 ball pool on the phone. I thought the RA would be a pain too, but really it isn't bad at all the generator is pretty simple to use and the forum was very helpful as well. Yeah the AC Jr is really basic, but it got the job done for a few years and ran my old 14g great. For the small amount I plan to ask of it, it will work out alright until I decide to just get another RA or two lol 8 ball pool? I race and hunt Link to comment

Chris! Posted February 10, 2014 Author Share Posted February 10, 2014 What is the light again? Glad the boy had a great birthday. I decided to finally put the gen1 radion I have had for a couple years now to use I got it free and didn't really need it at the time lol) and will hang it ~12-14" above the water which I am hoping will give enough spread/coverage with the original non-TIR lenses. Thanks man Link to comment
BattleAthletics Posted February 10, 2014 Share Posted February 10, 2014 Lol free is good! The painted trim looks great too, what style of overflow are you running? Link to comment
Chris! Posted February 10, 2014 Author Share Posted February 10, 2014 Lol free is good! The painted trim looks great too, what style of overflow are you running? Yeah can't complain about free thats for sure... and it seems pretty nice too lol Thanks man, the stock flat black just looks dingy and stands out like a sore thumb, with the white trim it blends a little more into the room and stand (which is trimmed out in the trim from the room as well) I painted the last tank and really liked it so figured I would do it again. I love the rimless look, but with wrasses there aren't many good options for putting a top on it that don't take away from the clean look so this is the next best option and allows me to put a screen lid on the tank to keep the fish in as well The overflow box is DIY (not the prettiest but it is functional and eventually won't be seen anyway), with dual 1" drains. I don't know if the standpipe style has a name but it is just the bulkheads running through the glass with street 90's turned down inside the box, into a T with a 1" pipe that runs down into the sump below the surface of the water, and above the T there is a short piece of pipe with a cap on it. I drill the side of the cap into the pipe with both the inside of the cap and outside of the pipe sanded so the cap is easily turned making the air inlet adjustable..... It makes for a damn near silent drain Link to comment

My stand is also done with the trim and painted white. Damn. Link to comment
