Also, when it comes to adding things like worm castings and molasses your res doesn't have a pump or anything pushing the water around so you should be able to add whatever you want - just clean it with peroxide between grows so you don't get any gunky build-up. With that octopot all you're...

When you fill the res is it empty or being flushed? Or just adding on top of what is already in there? When you say you check the PPM and pH are you checking whats in the res, what you're adding to the res, and then the res again after its added? I may be showing my ignorance here, but I...

another idea that might work better is get some screws long enough to go through the pvc and through the fan into the heatsink. Then just mount them to the pvc frame.

just a heads up, the PVC frame you have is going to block the airflow on your heatsinks almost completely. you may want to cut out some rectangular holes (just a small drill bit all the way through the PVC then move the bit left to right) to open up some air flow making the fans functional...

If you have access to either a drill or drill press then drilling and tapping works very well with that chip holder you have. Pick up something like this: http://www.mscdirect.com/product/details/77277705?CS_010=77277705&item=77277705&CS_003=7867724&src=pla&cid=PLA-Google-PLA - Test You can...

I ordered 10 of them a couple of weeks ago so they should be here any month now. Other than a multi-meter and a kill-a-watt meter I have laying around is there any other equipment necessary for that? Or to ask another way, how do you test yours?

Been awhile since I've checked this thread. Nice to see its still going strong a year later. I stumbled across some interesting drivers that might work well for fans. Thought I'd share: http://www.ebay.com/itm/261653490178?_trksid=p2060778.m2749.l2649&ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT At $1.59...

Hopefully one of you can help me with this. If I wanted to run a 4 cxa25XX @ 700mA each what kind of power supply would I need to run those chips in series? I'm trying to utilize a tiny amount of space and only have room for a single driver. I've looked at the inventronics, and while I like the...

I have every intention of getting a dedicated PSU for the fans. Money is a bit tight these days and this project will be on going for the rest of the month, the cell phone charger was just playing around with what's available at the moment. I do have a quick question for you Supra: I'm...

A really great way to get cheap heatsink/fan combos is to go to a local computer shop. I went in the other day asking for exactly that. They brought out a box from the back with a bunch of heatsinks from old AMD socket 939/AM2/AM2+ etc. I was able to take my pick of 2 for 5 bucks. They were...

Thanks for the reply. I'm in the process of switching an old mother cabinet I made into a micro box. The idea I'm toying with is putting a plug on the back of the cabinet like you would find on a computer power supply. I plan on having three drivers/COBs and would like to wire all 3 to said...

Hi, I've been reading through your DIY cxa thread. I think I have a pretty solid grasp on the DC side of connecting everything together, my question is about connecting the driver to the AC source. Is there a kind of panel/splitter that allows an array of drivers to be connected to the same AC...
