SRC Member gunzo Posted July 9, 2005 SRC Member Share Posted July 9, 2005 can't believe it.. nothing stock for more than a fortnite!! tank with sump $180 comes with 2 fans 2 switches one control the lite and 1 the pump the fans comes only when the the lite is on 1 week later fans died and i start the mod process - replaced the fans with more powerful ones.. very noisy - rewired te stupid pump to mains so that when poer is on, the pump is working ( the way it should be) - bought a electronic thermometer and controller.. - wired the temp meter to fans to switch on only above 30 degrees.. now peace and quiet.. - rewired the redundant switch (formerly pump switch) to turn on 2nd pair of LED blue lites - fixed the blue lites to the internals.. Finally everything up and working just like you ordered it ! next up compact chiller with no noise and additional space! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SRC Member klim Posted July 17, 2005 SRC Member Share Posted July 17, 2005 Bro Gunzo, look interesting. Which shop sell the thermometer ###### controller and what is a k type thermocouple? Maybe you can do a review on DIY of this with step by step guide.. It will benefit a lot of reefers whom is using fan as the cooling system. I for one also used fan (24hrs) and the issue is that the water evaporated too fast. If you can showed how it was made, I will need to top up less often because fan will not run 24hrs.
