Rory282 Posted November 12, 2017 Author Share Posted November 12, 2017 Made a video of the fan noise... Is this normal or is there somthing wrong with the fan? Thx! Quote Link to comment
Reefkid88 Posted November 12, 2017 Share Posted November 12, 2017 Mine makes the same noise,but you can't hear it until everything in the room is off,which thankfully its only when we aren't home,seeming the tank is in the bedroom. Quote Link to comment
Rory282 Posted November 12, 2017 Author Share Posted November 12, 2017 It doesn’t bother me that much, only the missus is complaining about it. And that’s the last thing i need . Fact is even with the tv on i can still hear it pretty good. Quote Link to comment
Reefkid88 Posted November 12, 2017 Share Posted November 12, 2017 Mine isn't that loud. Maybe turn it down some ? Quote Link to comment
DaveFason Posted November 13, 2017 Share Posted November 13, 2017 So glad it arrived! You never know with customs. The fan will have noise but should be toned out once you have the tank setup. It will be the loudest thing with an empty tank! On 11/11/2017 at 12:01 PM, VaporCountry said: Hell yea thats awesome. The nanobox lights look so nice, love the design and ascetics. Im setting up a 30L and really would like one but is out of my budget. Was thinking about maybe DIY a light. When do you plan to get things rolling along? Did you decided on an ATO yet? Dave do you sell the nanobox quad unibody housing by itself if someone wanted to do a DIY fixture? I do not, sorry! -Dave 1 Quote Link to comment

The overall noise is going to get worse or the fan noise is going to get better . Btw, i couldn't help myself, the acrylic lid is already installed . Can you tell me what type fan the light is using?

Rory282 Posted November 14, 2017 Author Share Posted November 14, 2017 Love this setup already... Added a hygrometer , don’t know why. Got to see humidity in the room... 7 Quote Link to comment
Rory282 Posted November 24, 2017 Author Share Posted November 24, 2017 So, i’m having problems with my nanobox... Bluefish tells me the device is offline and i can’t configure the blinkup. It gives me a short red light, a long red light and a short red light. Also the driver is really buzzing... anybody knows what’s wrong. Happy thanksgiving everyone. Quote Link to comment
Rory282 Posted November 25, 2017 Author Share Posted November 25, 2017 @DaveFason, have you got any idea? Thx! Edit: fixed the problem! Looked at the electric imp blinkup chart and found my problem. Did a full reset on my router, reconnected the bluefish with my network and it was good to go! 2 Quote Link to comment
Reefkid88 Posted November 25, 2017 Share Posted November 25, 2017 Yeah,blinkup gave me a hour worth of headache lol. So,pics or it didn't happen. 1 Quote Link to comment

A few hiccups that I have had lately is the amount of devices on one router. Some support 5-15 devices while others support many more. This day and age 5-15 devices may not be enough for one house! Glad all is well and running. Now get the tank going. 2 Quote Link to comment

Let me know how you like it. Will do my friend. If i could i would buy fritz rpm salt but they don’t sell it here in Belgium so trying af probiotic. They say the probiotic version adds some beneficial bacteria each time you do a wc. Quote Link to comment
Rory282 Posted December 4, 2017 Author Share Posted December 4, 2017 Raindrops, reef tops! Just received my custom lid from reef tops. Fit and finish is perfect! Super glad with this. Tank looks way better now. Me happy! 9 Quote Link to comment
teenyreef Posted December 7, 2017 Share Posted December 7, 2017 That lid is beautiful! The biggest thing I don't like about my lid on my IM10 is there's no feed door. And I love how the setup looks on the stand. On the fan... #1: follow Dave's advice on fan speed since he's the one who will fix it if you burn it up #2: for me personally, my light seems to stay quite cool with the fan at about 70% during peak times, and less after hours. Unless you are running all the channels at a high level, you may be able to run your fan at a speed that's not too noisy. Quote Link to comment

This means a lot to me you already like my setup . Thanks for the fan advice, i will keep my fan levels a little higher than yours just to be safe . Yes the feeding door was a must. Although the lid is small, it’s not that handy without the feeding door. On 7/12/2017 at 5:38 AM, AnonymousRfr said: Subscribing. I really like how this is coming along.

He makes a lot of tops for reefers and custom tops. Mine was his first one for a fusion 10. I drew him a little sketch and voila my lid was made! 2 Quote Link to comment
VaporCountry Posted December 9, 2017 Share Posted December 9, 2017 That top is so sweet man, looks great with the nano box. I didn't even know they existed lol. Now you just need a matching ATO container 1 Quote Link to comment

Now you just need a matching ATO container I think i’m going to use a small denerle 10 liter tank, it has a glass top so should be perfect. Ato container is going to be setup in the lower left cube of the cabinet. 1 Quote Link to comment
