gabe3eb Posted May 9, 2014 Share Posted May 9, 2014 I feel like you really blew over that DIY LED.... Link to comment
pismo_reefer Posted May 10, 2014 Author Share Posted May 10, 2014 I feel like you really blew over that DIY LED.... It was already built. The lenses were just kinda placed on there. I didnt like that, so I made an acrylic lense cover. Mainly to hold them in place. The project box is ridiculous huge. When I swap the guts of the light into a sexy lookin' package, I will document the sh*t out of it. Fwiw... Got home a day early, from work. My Pump and return plumbing are here. Might drop some rock in this thing tomoro. Link to comment

pismo_reefer Posted May 10, 2014 Author Share Posted May 10, 2014 Working on "Hamster Bottle ATO." Link to comment
Fnard Posted May 11, 2014 Share Posted May 11, 2014 Working on "Hamster Bottle ATO." Why oh why? I know you want this thing to be "budget", but with the hotness already involved bite the bullet and go with a better option. Love my Smart ATO, but that won't work with your black acrylic, but you know what I'm getting at. But this could all be a moot point if you hook that Hamster Bottle up and hide it in some sexy way.
