DaveFason Posted June 29, 2016 Author Share Posted June 29, 2016 Moving into the new space has been the best thing ever. I have NEVER been more productive and I am still building stuff out to make it even better. Seeing my name on a window and front space is the coolest thing ever. Pictures tomorrow, new spot light ( ) teaser and a few other things. Keep the orders rolling in! -Dave 5 Quote Link to comment
mpsti05 Posted June 30, 2016 Share Posted June 30, 2016 Teaser?!?!? Always looking forward to those Quote Link to comment
DaveFason Posted June 30, 2016 Author Share Posted June 30, 2016 I have been working away on new projects, photos and website material the past few weeks. Everything has been going smooth and looking forward to the future. Where do I start? First, I am working on a simple on/off light that will work with both reef, plants and photography. This is a round unit that will be very universal for many different platforms. Still in the works and nothing solid until Jan 2017. But I figured you guys like to see stuff. Top : The photo version will have many different mounts for cameras, mounts. As well the bottom will also allow for a lens for focus lighting. Also for reef for a blue spotlight! roundproto by David Fason, on Flickr Side : This shows how small and thin it will be for the on/off plant/reef light. roundproto2 by David Fason, on Flickr Website : Adding new contact page Blog page - Tank profiles, behind the scenes stuff, my life More videos Updated retro page Color choosing option - See what your dream unit will look like People often ask me about different colors for units. I put together a quick video showing 52 different color combinations. The anodizing is turning out to be a game changer. Samples : The orange looks NUTS samplesanodize by David Fason, on Flickr Oh and units...

The new office has me focused, determined and stoked! Enjoy and let me know what you think! -Dave 9 Quote Link to comment
Horerczy Posted June 30, 2016 Share Posted June 30, 2016 That's an awesome looking heatsink. Would love to see that with an all Luxeon C array setup. Fun times. 1 Quote Link to comment
0utkast Posted July 1, 2016 Share Posted July 1, 2016 I really like the red/gold anodized combo. Reminds me of ironman. However it would go with absolutely nothing in my house. Would be interested to see the "puck" in action. That white Proto would be perfect over my tank 1 Quote Link to comment
DaveFason Posted July 8, 2016 Author Share Posted July 8, 2016 More updates this evening. Staying current with orders and things are looking better and better! -Dave 1 Quote Link to comment
reefist Posted July 8, 2016 Share Posted July 8, 2016 Are you still going to be offering some small stands perhaps with some kind or arm from which to hang my sweet clear and vivid blue duo? The kitchen counter while being excellent for viewing the tank, has proven to not be the best spot because of the amount of traffic in the area. Quote Link to comment
DaveFason Posted July 10, 2016 Author Share Posted July 10, 2016 I am a couple days behind on posting but a slew of orders shipped, orders prepped and new stuff to follow. Google sheet is updated and now I normally update every 48 hours. The new office is starting to shape up and the work bench is now built. I am hanging powder coated peg board today and finishing up a few other items. Peg Board will hold current orders and pre-built units. shopwallstart by David Fason, on Flickr This week I was able to work with my anodizer and can now anodize Sunpower housings! It is looking like $125 will be the going rate for every size. I can do the following colors. Pictures to come.

DaveFason Posted July 13, 2016 Author Share Posted July 13, 2016 A handful of orders went out yesterday and more later this week. Customer page is updated! I had a few email quirks but looks like things are cleared up. Updates and photos tonight. -Dave 1 Quote Link to comment

DaveFason Posted July 13, 2016 Author Share Posted July 13, 2016 Awesome day! Bradley started his first day and did an excelent job! I was able to knock out more stuff today than I EVER have been able to. I think this will be a great fit and fresh start. I am really finding my groove here and taking full advantage of the new space. Exactly what I needed. I have never felt better about the product coming out of here. I am hoping to get back a few things from the anodizer this week but they have been lagging behind. The new work bench is working on perfect and now I need to stain the front. Anyone that has a shop will get a kick out of this. I needed a small drill press for the new spot and found a great deal on Amazon. Received it a few days ago and literally laughed out loud. Check out how small this thing is! It works perfect! tinydrillpress by David Fason, on Flickr Black Duo : A few of these went out. duoblackgoose22 by David Fason, on Flickr Black/Blue Tide : tideblackbluegoose44 by David Fason, on Flickr More to come! -Dave 4 Quote Link to comment
Horerczy Posted July 14, 2016 Share Posted July 14, 2016 Adorable drill press Dave. Mines a small one and still at least double the size. XD 1 Quote Link to comment
DaveFason Posted July 16, 2016 Author Share Posted July 16, 2016 Amazing week at the shop. Bradley is going to work out perfectly and we are already prepping for the busy season. This week we nailed down... 80 Driver Boards 50+ connectors 25 90% completed units Regular Orders R&D Work stockingup by David Fason, on Flickr newofficedecal by David Fason, on Flickr To top the week the office building is contracting me to do a high end planted or reef tank. This will be located in the main entrance for the 120,000 sqft office space that is finishing up next month! More exciting new I am working with InTank ( Steve ) and we will be providing them with RETRO Plus kits for InTanks website. He kindly sent me two hoods and I was able to video a install video that will be shared on InTanks & NanoBox website. Nothing better than working with a forum sponsor that is actively on here! InTankRETRO by David Fason, on Flickr A few new colors came back from the anodizer. One was a mistake but turned out incredible. Brown and orange. Both units are for sale and ready for shipping! I have one of each color Duo in orange and brown. Orange/Black Tide Plus M : $350 shipped tideornageblackgoose by David Fason, on Flickr Brown/Chocolate / Nature Series Tide : $360 shipped tidebrownnaturegoose by David Fason, on Flickr I will be out on vacation all next week but will be checking emails/PM in early mornings. When I get back I will have updates on the website, new Sunpower anodizing photos and a few other goodies. Enjoy! -Dave 9 Quote Link to comment

mattguess Posted July 26, 2016 Share Posted July 26, 2016 I'm pretty sure it's mine that Dave is talking about. So it's making it worse. Quote Link to comment
