Im a IDIOT!!!! I got the cam and stood on top of a bucket full of water to get a 2 day shot of the collection cup. I bet you can guess what happens next. YUP THIS IDIOT BROKE THE LID FELL INTO THE BUCKET AND SOKED THE CAM, AND NOW IT WONT COME ON. MAN I FELL LIKE SUCH A MORON. Well on the good note I just got my cards back from the credit card company and am going to order a new one to replace the old one. MAN I SUCK, MOTHER F@##@ER IM AN IDIOT!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[Bifferwine]

Dude, that sucks! That's too bad! Was the camera new?

 

[bobby]

I dont know I just barrowed it from my wifes aunt. I dont think it to old, allthough she said she got it from walmart so I called every wallmart around here and they said its old and they dont carry it anymore, so I got on line and found it so if it doesnt start working by tomarrow I'll have to buy it off line or offer her a better one if she wants it right away. I fell sooooo stupid right now.

 

[bobby]

Well pics will be coming soon I woke up today and put batteries in and IT WORKS. I'm really happy now.

 

[bobby]

Ok here are the pics. The first two are of the collection cup after running for 2 days on a slow dry foam.

These are the thing I bought, however, I didnt use the airflow valve. MY mod job works great with out it.

To get the srub pad thin enough I pelled it in layers like this.

Heres a pic of the motor with the mod right off the skimmer.

 

[bobby]

Heres another pic of the motor with the mod.

Heres a pic of the impellar.

And here is a pic of the mesh on my hat. I think this mesh will be worth a try if your not wanting to cut the blades down. Besides this mesh I think a nylon screen will work you might have to put 2 or 3 layers on to better suck in air and chop the bubbles up.

By the way I bought the pads from walmart for 2.97 I think and the fishline came from walmart for 2 somthing. The air controll valve kit came from petco for 2.99.

 

[bobby]

Has anybody else tried this yet? How did it turn out?

 

[Bifferwine]

Probably won't get around to it til next weekend. I'm busy :). But I definitely want to try it, my Prizm is sitting in storage right now.

 

[bobby]

[bobby]

OK. Didnt you just buy the light? You need a bulb already? So hows it going? Get the algae all taken care of in your 125?

 

[Bifferwine]

Sorry haven't tried it. My motivation has been at zero lately. For many many reasons.

 

[bobby]
