the pinpoint ph controller i ordered from premium aquatics has arrived! tomarrow, i will plug it in and calibrate it, and hook it up to my 46bf, and next week, get the co2 tank filled:beer:

How much$$$ ?

 

[SouthernReefer]

$159 thru premium aquatics, they had the lowest price i could find online.

Wow Crom....even if it didn't serve a purpose it looks cool as heck........Maybe that is a guy thing.....If you could take 100 LCD displays out of old calculators, and program them to just read random numbers im pretty sure most guys would have a wall somwhere in thier house with nothing but buttons LCD's nobs and LED lights.....

 

[Jeremy1973]

tsk tsk tsk...that is a terrible piece of equipment...I think you should send it to me and be rid of it. heh heh heh

 

[MontanaRocknReefer]

I agree with Jeremey and if you send it to me I will get it set up properly and let you know in a few years whether this is a good piece of equipment for your tank!!

Sure looks nice though!

 

[SouthernReefer]

thanks! you guys are the greatest! on that note; anyone care or are willing to hook up my sump and skimmer to their reeftank and report back to me in a few years or so on how well they operate too?!?!:funny:

 

[Tpeck]

Nice....very nice.......

Hey...I have the table saw sitting in the garage

 

[SouthernReefer]

my friend at work is going to make my stand add-on it for me this saturday. but, i can stop by again and give you a hand making yours! plus, i should have my lamp posts welded from the metals shop on monday now. they were too buzy building a racecar tube chassis to get to my project. i am looking at either getting them chromed or powercoated when finished! give me a buzz saturday afternoon, i should be up and about!

 

[SouthernReefer]

whoa! holy cow! my ph was way off bigtime! time to replace the batteries in my ph pen and recal that too! ph was at 7.7, i have been buffering it up to slowly all day, right now i'm at 8.06. and hopefully in the morning i'll be at a steady 8.3!

 

[SouthernReefer]

another piece to add to the puzzle

my friend did a most excellent job on making this stand add-on today! now i just gotta stain it.

 

[SouthernReefer]

here's a side shot showing the refugium placement.

 

[SouthernReefer]

and a front view. to the left and right of the 'fuge, will be where the light posts will be mounted to suspend the dual 250w w/ pc light fixture over the tank.

Can you describe your thinking on the PVC maze? Very interesting layout.

I'm going to assume it's for a nice distro of the water?

I like the red LED number readouts, as well. Reminds me of the late 70s, and shows like The Six Million Dollar Man, when technology was cool...

 

[SouthernReefer]

after several coats of black stain, this is as dark as it gets with out painting it with black paint. i don't mind it that much that it doesn't match the stand completely, i have sometime to think about it, before i add water. tomarrow, hopefully, i will have my lamp posts complete, and i can drill the mounting holes, and then take them to get chrome plated or powercoated. there are 4 places intown that perform chrome plating!
peace...
