Dave already got this pic from my Flickr feed, but here it is anyway. I'm so excited my IM10 is finally coming back from the dead

Just a few updates on the twin ADAs

[DaveFason]

This thread needed a bump! Here are a few tanks that I have recently posted.

Wow that LPS/softy tank on the bottom is incredible.

Hey all, I'm brand new to Nano-Reef and new to nano reefing as well. (I've been mainly a planted tank/Discus nut for a long time, but recently bit by the reef bug!) I have a Biocube 32 and the Nanobox Retro Plus M. After some reading in this thread, it appears the fan is not adjustable on the retro. Does anyone else experience the fan being really loud? It makes a constant slightly high pitched humming. I'm able to hear it over my tv at times. The tank is the same distance from me as my tv. About 6 ft or so. Any ideas? I wasn't sure if this is normal but its really hard to enjoy the tank with the hum. Thanks all for helping a reef newbie.

Just an update, working with Dave on what the possible fan issue is.

Realised I never posted up pictures of my custom fixture using Dave's amazing V3.1 arrays.

WOW dude! Do you have any info on the light build?  LOVE the translucent splash guard.

Thanks , the summary is pretty much as below:

4 x NB V3 Arrays

2 x NB V3.1 arrays

1 x BlueFish Nano controller

1 x O2 Surplus LDD driver board with integrated arduino for fan control

This was all built from scratch. The heatsink is a flat piece of Aluminium plate that the arrays are bolted directly to and then extruded aluminium heatsinks bolted to the top of that. 0.5mm heat pad is used as a conductor between the plate and extruded aluminium fins. The top control box is made out of 4mm acrylic on an aluminium frame and houses the driver board and BlueFish mini as well as 2x 140mm computer fans to cool the whole thing down. Realistically, I could probably run the fixture passively cooled but the fans give me piece of mind and are directly controlled by the intensity of a specific lighting channel. The splash guards are a  4.5mm acrylic two piece design that I wet sanded up to 2000 grit for the diffused look.

 

A few more pics can be seen at the below link.

Thanks!  That’s my goal... clean and quiet.  One of my next projects is to hang the Duo (Bye-bye gooseneck!).

And the baby 22g long tank still in infancy but chugging along... with a custom hybrid thing over it 🙂

 

 

[Tamberav]

anddd finally when I had the IM10 set up before I moved, I had a old duo over it. I plan on talking Dave into fixing and upgrading it 😉 and get this tank going again.

 

 

[DaveFason]

Great seeing these updates! 😄
