Nickeleye Posted June 8, 2005 Share Posted June 8, 2005 That's a good question. I would say that it could likely be done, but the benefits gained by doing this would be minimal. The reason is that the wall that is molded into the hood is "tapered" and as a result the splash guard is as well. What this means is that there is a specific hole pattern that would have to match up and I know for sure some of these holes won't match once you get to the "tapered" section. Also, even if you did put a '05 splash guard on an '04 hood, you would still have gaping open holes towards the rear of the hood where the splash guard wouldn't cover because of the "taper". I haven't personally tried the new splash guard on the old hood so everything I've said above is an "educated speculation". Link to comment
dja1980 Posted June 8, 2005 Share Posted June 8, 2005 Hey Chis, I just wanted to touch base with you to see if you ever received the e-mail I resent you about a month back about the possibility of adding this float valve to my 24g before you ship it out. The first time I sent it, you replied stating that the link didn't work. Anyway, if you never received it, here’s the link. I know you said that the filter on you e-mail is pretty strict, and I do own my own domain for my e-mail. Let me know if you think this might be something you could add to the tank, preferably drilled from the back. Thanks... Dave Link to comment
ccjung Posted June 8, 2005 Author Share Posted June 8, 2005 no prob. I think were still a little out (week+). So we have time to get parts. I'll look at this and get back to you dave doggy dog. Chris Link to comment
Betelgeuze Posted June 8, 2005 Share Posted June 8, 2005 Great news on the metal halide. Are they going to come with the chiller? Thanks. Link to comment
ccjung Posted June 8, 2005 Author Share Posted June 8, 2005 Yes, should include ICA as an option on most models throughout the product line. Chris Link to comment
jmt Posted June 8, 2005 Share Posted June 8, 2005 Dual 70s seems kind of redundant. And please don't spit off rhetoric about customization options as far as lighting scenarios are concerned. Chris, I'll be happy to bat around ideas for a 150w DE with you. Link to comment
ccjung Posted June 9, 2005 Author Share Posted June 9, 2005 the idea between the dual 70w setup is that they will be placed longitudinally (like a RWD car's motor). 2 of them to give most coverage for the top half of the tank. The theory behind the 150 is a single, intense source for deep penetration into the water. I would almost classify it as: dual 70s = SPS machine single 150 = Clam machine You want your clams in the sand, and sps with lots of intense light in the upper half. my 0.02 Chris Link to comment
reef n ale Posted June 23, 2005 Share Posted June 23, 2005 Hey Chris! For those of us with 24's still in one piece, how are the new hoods coming along? Any fully completed/shipped? Rob Link to comment
Cesar Posted June 24, 2005 Share Posted June 24, 2005 Damn im excited and i dind't even get one, hahaha. Link to comment
ccjung Posted June 28, 2005 Author Share Posted June 28, 2005 Rob- Im getting the prototypes made and waiting to confirm it will fit. I will be keeping everyone in the loop, but these things unfortunately take time.... I will be coming out with a big statement once things solidify. Chris Link to comment
