Sorry for lack of updates. Been slow going lately
Got the First coat of stain on the exterior, and had to wait a few days for the stain to dry (Poly Shades: It's stain and clear coat in one..seems to stay tacky for days)
After which it was gluing the entire assembly together, and waiting for that to dry. (24 hours each side.. Only have 3 bar clamps... not enough to do both ends at the same time )
While the PL was drying I moved onto Setting up the Air Flow Tunnel's(Dunno what else to call it.. Fan Tunnels? Vent's? Exhaust tunnels? Glory Holes?)
The Idea here is I have 4 Ballasts (Each controlling 2 Bulbs) 4 Fans, and 4 (well I have 5 but not using one) Temperature Probes from the fan controller. I want each Fan to cool Individually and keep the section of Ballast and Cold spot at the perfect temperature.
Dry Layout Here:
Gluing.. Center Section is where the Fan Controller will be, The Power Distribution, the Power Bricks for my 21LED ReefBars, and 12Volt supply
Diagram: Hopefully this explains my madness
Mock up with Fans where they would be
