Equipment

Here are a couple of pics of the paint job I did today.

This is the housing paint job and the hasps I painted as well.

Shot of the business end painted.

So i still have to finish the end where the hanger and the cords are attached. I am not real confident in the paint job. I feel like it will scratch very easily. Wondering if I could spray some polyacrylic or something on as a topcoat.... maybe even clearcoat ...

So i started working on the housing for my LED light fixture. So far I am pretty happy with the results. Its a little bit of trial and error and lots of fine tuning. Now pics.

After trying different configurations using different pieces this is my favorite so far and what i am using for Version 1.


This is what the bottom of the fixture looks like i had to do some modifications to get the pieces to fit. Thank ...

So I am trying to figure out the best way to set up the closed loop on my new tank. Here is a sketchup model of how the tank is currently drilled/plumbed.

I want to use all four 1" bulkhead as outlets for the closed loop, so I am thinking about drilling another hole as the inlet for my iwaki. Like this.

With the black circle being the new 1.5" inlet ...
