Wow. Just wow. Such a cool build! Could you share some more info on those buttons and how you wired those up with the one link port and breakout box? I get lost on Amazon with the thousands of buttons they have.

Nice skimmer upgrade.
Does this Quantum 220 come with an adjustable DC-pump?

No, it does not.

I ordered 12v latching led buttons. (Push them they stay stay on, push them again they stay off) off Amazon. I ran the power for the LEDs through a 12v to 24v inverter and then to the 24v output of the one link. I have the led lights come on at 7am till 10pm.

Then I just ran the normally open/closed to the break out box. Just like any other switch.

Love the new skimmer look! Let me know what you think after running it for a while. Debating getting one.

 

[mrcole76]

Awesome. Thanks for the info on the buttons. Hmm, maybe I’ll just wander over to amazon right now..

Will do, I love the Nyos 160 I had on there. This one is two decibels louder but only when I have my hear right next to it! Lol

No problem. I suggest getting the pig tails also. Makes wiring easier.

Here is what it’s pulled in 36hrs with no break in period and not dialed in yet! I’m already impressed lol

Also modified my lids to work for now. I’ll get with Zen Reef for new ones after I get my Reactor.

Thanks, I’ve been second guessing myset up after seeing so many clean tanks with side panels.

Thanks! See above reply - lol

Well, our Blue and Gold Macaw was tired of his cage glowing purple....and I was tired of people knocking on my door at night asking for dime bags...

So, made a quick trip to Home Depot and $20 later I came home with some corrugated white board. Few cuts and some magnets now my living room no longer looks like a grow factory.

Really don’t like them but function over form in this case.

NEEDS MORE CORAL!

I love the build.
Might steal some of your ideas for my upcoming build

Ha, where do you think I got my ideas? Make sure you share your results!

 

[docwells]

I will share. Will start a post when I get ta chance. I have been taking pictures of what I have been doing. Still doing some trial and error on wood work to get best look and function

 

[Janci]

NEED MORE CORAL.... agreed

Are you using an iPad mini as your monitor? Hard to definitely tell from pictures.

Yes, it’s a iPad mini.

 

[Atti2de]

Not much to update. Just waiting for the tank to settle out. Been playing with some sort of panels for the equipment side. Not sure where I’m going with it yet...

 

[Janci]

It is cool looking, to have your equipment on display.
... probably because I am such an industrial-look-junkie.

But honestly, the tank is nothing without the equipment. So why not show it off.
