Here are the holes in the brand new flooring. That hurt a little.

No accounting for taste, I guess?

how’d you end up supporting ManU?

I did this 2 days after the floor went in...

So you know the pain of drilling.

Been a fan since 1986, my soccer coach was African and was a huge fan so we all started following them. They were terrible when I started following them and it was Fergie’s first year. Been a lot of major UP’s and some recent LOW’s lol.

Lol, yeah- I have the LVP plugs with my glass holes from tank drilling

I've seen those pipe holders somewhere before :D
They are awesome
Lol- the first time I showed pics of those like 2 years ago in my Fishroom build, I got something like 18 pms asking where I got them. This was way before BRS started carrying them.

things are awesome.

If you need more of these PVC clips, check out PVC Fittings Online

I love BRS, but not at 2.7x the price! It adds up when you need 40-50 of these things!

Hehehehe yes, I know. That’s where I got the originals. I must have sent like 20 pms sharing that website the day after I put pics up on my buildthread

that’s where I got mine too. BRS must not know people us a little site called google lol.
I know, right

case in point is the ‘BRS exclusive heater controller’ which I got from an ink bird rep in a warranty replacement 4 months before BRS bought them up and slapped a decal on it. And marked it up $20.

I love BRS, but that’s just shenanigans

Exactly, I had Lam from Ink bird send me 4 (2 heat/heat, and 2 wifi) of them before the BRS fiasco lol.

I never understood the heat/heat... just use a heat/cool and run a power strip out of the Heat outlet then you also have cool too

I don't need a chiller, I have dedicated AC and Heat in the room. heat 1 is set to my desired temp, heat 2 is backup should heat 1 fail, this will kick in.

you know what- I didn’t even realize that the two heat outlets could have different set points

that makes so much sense, lol

I made a small fan array out of 4x4” computer fans and a 12v power supply, but it’s literally never turned on. My main humidity control in Fishroom keeps things really stable

Yeah, that is the cool thing on these. I just installed the wifi one this weekend on the sump the 300 is dumping into, I like that it has an app, so I most likely will just run 2 of these, and do the same thing, 1 high and 1 low just so I can view from the app.

I have my main heaters hooked up to apex with inkbirds as backup... and haven’t seen the need to do graphing on my water barrel or QTs

bit I should have spent the extra 5 bucks in retrospect, for future proofing.
