Guitar Center has always sold the DJ power strip for $29.99. I love that thing.

 

[Myteemouse]

Got one today! WOOT

 

[Myteemouse]

got some live rock "cooking"
A new DJ strip
And some more paint on the stand
And some outlets installed need to go get one more single was one short!

 

[Workaholic]

I'm curious. with running the DJ strip, is it still possible to run timers with them?

I have timers plugged into mine. All they are is fancy outlets with shut off switches.

 

[Myteemouse]

they are just open plugs on the back!
The only problem is if your turn them off the time will get messed up!
This will have my return pumps, skimmers,fuge light, and ATO on it so when I do a water change I can turn those things off .

 

[roscoe]

Things are coming along nicely for you Adam!! Looking good!!!

 

[Myteemouse]

I just talked to Jason, my tank and sump will be delivered next sunday WOOT WOOT
Gonna have some more toys to play with!!!!!

 

[Workaholic]

great to hear. cant wait to see it setup!

tom

 

[Myteemouse]

Now I gotta build doors and the hood
This is were I'm confused !!????

 

[Workaholic]

How are you confused?

Tom

 

[Myteemouse]

wanna make it light wieght but with two doors and not too tall but ?i need to keep lighs off the water about 8 inches and my reflectors are 7 inches so my hood has to be 15-16inches and
but no top for heat disipation and I'm getting fed up with wood work and quickly running out of money
I want to close my eyes, tap my heels three times and the tank be done . LOL
Actually the hardest part of all of this is moveing the 29 gallon to the tall stand with all the inhabitants still in it with the rock and not break anything!!

 

[Workaholic]

well you dont have to build a canopy, you could always just suspend the reflectors for the halides above the top of the tank on kind of a pulley system. If you need a hand moving the 29 let me know.

Tom

 

[Myteemouse]

I might need a hand!
I will take like 15 gallons out but want to leave the rest in so I can cycle the new tank first!
I have to get the 29 gallon out of the way so I can level the new stand and trim it out!
I figure I'll put it where it's gonna go So I don't have to move it twice!

NM. If you want some ideas Ill send you some pics via PM.

 

[roscoe]

Adam LMK if you need any help.

 

[Myteemouse]

I will If I need help!
I figured out the doors today so I'm gonna start those this morning.
Gotta go back to my toy store (lowes)

 

[Myteemouse]

got three doors done this morning except sand and paint!
Will finish the rest tomorrow morning!
I took the plywood from the cutouts of the skin for a perfect fit!
The plywood will actually be in the hole with only the trim outside the stand!
I notched the trim with a dremmel to make room for the trim to sit flat against the outside of the skin.
And went with self closing hinges matte black.
More pics tomorrow.
