Ghetto Rig

[whatcaneyedo]

I hate to get off topic here but what is a CO2 scrubber? Could someone provide me with a link?

Edit: never mind I did a search and found it.

10 gal POS tank - $5 at a yard sale
3x60 LED Christmas lights - $18 at Target

Rock sand and water going in tonight

That is so awesome!! If my wife came home to that she'd not be impressed at *ALL*

Sometimes I think a support group is needed for the wives/girlfriends of reefers

Nice! How's it working?

 

[MAYHEM_AUDIO]

i had it on a fresh water 10 gal and it lasted 2 weeks the water caused all the led terminals to rust or corode off and when i touched it i would get a lil shock

Looks like the skimmer inlet tubbing is sucked in flat.

bump for more ghettoness

conversion to aquafuge from pump, required a few different sizes of tubing stuck into each other and a load of zip ties to seal it off from leaking.

Yea, that Iwaki's proving itself with the hose flattened out. This wouldn't be such a ghetto rig if the skimmer here positioned better on the table, but with the corner off the edge, it's truly "GHETTO FABULOUS"!!!
I am sure you significant other really loves looking at that over morning coffee!

Here is my ghetto imitation bubble plate. I have a euro reef rs 250 and the stock pump died. So with the more power is better mind set I had to have a laguna. I made this pvc contraption to help with the turbulance.

OK here it, it is my ghetto fresh air intake for my skimmer. Just an experiment...i hope (or at least my wife hopes)

LMAO!!! Yea, my wife was not very happy when I hung multiple ham radio wire and cable antennas on our ceiling in our basement apartment! I don't think I could get away with it now though.

Hi kryptic,

I'm sorry. Which picture are you referring to?

I think this maybe in the top 3 of the thread. If that is electric tape on the pvc it gets bumped up a spot to top 2.

hahahahahahahahaha. It took me a while to see what you guys were talking about with the bathroom, that is the icing on the cake.

 

[Rhodes19]

Ok, I must be brain dead. What am I missing with the bathroom? :crazy1: You can just barely see it in the first picture.
