PW lookin extra beefy in that tank. As long as the water stays inside the tank you should be good to go hah

So I was Tung-oiling my kids new workbench and I had the windows open in the basement and the tank got too hot and had to put bags of ice in it to cool it off. So, I put a fan to help with the cooling and omg its really flattening out my heating curves.

I am really surprised how much a 140mm fan will cool.

Here is that high tech fan cooling system I mentioned

haha Only though reading... I want to add carbon and do some water changes?

Add carbon is fine, if you want. it will help to clean up toxins from stress. I never got a notification for this

lol! that is precariously perched is even better!

Now that I think of it, I had 3 rbta, now I can find only one beat-up guy... I tried to take care of them; after the second one split they all bailed from their perch; I tried to get them to reattach in different spots. stuffed one down a hole in my rock; not too far; he used to like the hole. last I saw of him. I had 2 in the exile tank but I can only find one now.

so; I changed 20gallons of water tonight. careful with the alkalinity (I mixed Reef Crystals and IO to get to 9-ish alk; tank was around 8.4 and ended at 8.6.)

The water was pretty yellow so I am hoping the problem is just that I fell behind on the Water Changes...

I really dig these videos. This is a good one about starfish

That’s what makes it so “me”

Finished my kid's 3D printed speed boat!

Will be putting the build video up on my YouTube eventually. Its really fast. But, I waterproofed the speed controller in some stuff that, I surmise, ate away the thermal glue between the cooling block so it would shut-down periodically to cool-off. The big plus was that I didn't burn anything out like I did in my first revision of the boat. I'll re-apply the paste and get back out on the water.

Is the printer big enough for a full sized one?

my gosh I wish... - it hauls wrasse
currently editing the build video for the boat - will be posting it here when done: https://www.youtube.com/c/randomprojectswithsam

Its got an issue though; it only runs for about 10-30 seconds before shutting down. So there will be another video where I fix that. I think I know what it is. Haven't messed with it because I'm so far behind in editing... no new projects... unless they're for the fish

I'm currently trying to design a Riva Aquarama to print... I built a Bass-wood model years ago from scratch from a few plans I found online and blew up large enough - will shoot a pic.

technically, I could make one of those plywood size CNCs and cutout all the wood parts to make a single-seater electric.... that would be badwrasse!

 

[Projects with Sam]

OMG... think Riva Aquarama fishing kayak!

I stopped because I cut all the ribs by hand (printed plan onto sticky paper then transferred to wood) and the boat wasn't symmetrical (hard to notice though,) plus its a cool shelf-piece as-is.

Though I was planning to instead, make a giant 4-axis foam cutting cnc using super cheap linear rails and 3D-printed bearings to cutout foam shapes; like a boat or an airfoil, then I could fiberglass it and voila... so many projects....

On my list to build is a probably 22 foot wood runabout. want to make it my work commuter too. A cnc one would be fun. Could make a kid sized one too.

That's the boat to build for sure.

 

[Mschmidt]

Also, great build thread!

 

[Eagle_Steve]

I agree. Done right, painted right, a scale rc one would be awesome.

How long do we get until wrasse becomes censored?

 

[Projects with Sam]

I want one!

 

[Projects with Sam]

neat! Cuddlefish (awww) have self control!

... probably more then me when it comes to fish buying ...
