Great project...your stand is wood only or any metal structure?

Whiterabbitrage 01/08/2015 04:02 AM

I'm jealous you visit UK so much. Last time I was there Stomehenge did not have those displays like they do now. And your tank is going to be great!

Hahaha... Not much to follow, my friend. If fact, I need to follow yours to refresh how to raise SPS... Just wait way too long to remember how to keep SPS...

What are the dimensions of the display?

Why do the winch need to carry 100kg?

Thank you. Main tank dimension is 132 x 90 x 60...

The ATI Hybrid only about 20 kg, but I may add another set or a few more LED next year or 2016 when SPS grow winder ...Plus some safety factor concern, so I go up to 100kg ... Maybe a overkill... that is possible ... Hahaha

shih87 01/09/2015 05:00 AM

My ATI Hybrid 220v was arrived from Germany (no customs duty and tax this time.. Lucky me… Ya)
