picking what up tommorow?

Nice... Looking forward to seeing if this is a hoax or a legitimate entry.

hahahah!! Nice.

gah, just waiting on the phone call meow

Give me your number and I'll call you. That way you can post your pictures afterwords.

You going to just send me yours so that I can even take the pictures of it?

It's a Hoax just like Marc

I've never watched Lost before, so I bought the entire box set of every season... soon as I'm done watching it I'll update this thread

Don't forget to watch 24, Supernatural, Flashforward... what else was great and yet ended recently?

deadliest catch, American Idol, if you look hard enough you could probable dig up some hill street blues.

omgah finally contacted @ 8:08... leaving to go pick it up!

pictures and info after I watch every original episode of M.A.S.H.

yay! updated the main post, 10:37pm and I'm hooking it all up

I actually just did that...it's about a month of watching. I told my Lost fanatic brother that I'd never seen an episode so he dropped 5 seasons of the Blu Ray on my couch when he visited. I'm now relegated to watching the last season online. Not meant to hijack the blog though, sorry.

nice toy I did an electrical revamp over the week end and made some changes to my ac3 controller taking advantage of its powers

That's a great deal! Congrats. I paid a little more than you did. What are you going to use the Serial port for?

pins 1 and 2 are a sensor circuit you can use to trigger the dc8 with. I'm going to order 2 of those float switches that you've posted about before, tie them into the serial port connection, and use my AC Jr. as a top off controller as well too.

That should allow me to 100% control the tank from just an AC Jr., though I may have to get yet another dc8 with everything that I want to run off of it.

oh, I also need to get a new ph sensor, but I'm going to try and calibrate this one as well too. It seems off as its reading my tank at about 7.8... and I know I'm higher then that... I restored defaults and the sensor went to 8.4 after that, which I know is a little high for my tank. I've verified my tank against 3 ph test kits and they all show around 8.2.

It stays very consistent, and I'm not tieing anything into ph adjustment anyways, so even if it is an older sensor and fluctuates a bit I'm ok for the time being. My additives will be timed and from float switches, not ph dependant

I'd like to know more about your float switch wiring plan, as I'll be doing the same. Be sure to create an entry on that topic, as I'm sure others would benefit as well.

i was kind of planning an entire install/setup article on it already I'll post over here. Everything from install, to setup, and adding the additionals to the system...

I'll be writing it, so hopefully people can understand retard/stupid

Sounds good to me.
