    Fixing a apex display

    I recently fixed a fellow reefers apex display after he accidentally crushed the cable. It’s a fairly straight forward job, match the colors to colors, but the cables are extremely small. If you have a fine tipped soldering iron you should be able to do the same! Enjoy the pictures Sent...

    Aqua bus FYI.

So I cut a aquabus in half, soldered the ends on to the cat5 and it works perfectly! If you choose to do this...

    Diy rodi refill system.

    So I've been eyeing the avast barrel tender and finally thought, I could make that myself. So after some searching I found a 12v pcb that would trigger a relay when one circuit opened and turn it off when another circuit closed. Easy enough, wire up a couple of float switches add a solenoid...
