    And the downside to all this ... My 10,000 BTU AC unit busted today, I bought a new 15,000 BTU unit, but need to rework things to make it fit and my 1HP chiller is sitting in the garage waiting to be installed! Sounds like a long evening & Sunday ... all so the CPSB meter can turn just a little bit FASTER!

    Gary, do you have drawings for that Nuclear Reactor?

    draven, you laugh... one of my friends had a shop up on 4th in austin, banks and banks of flourescent lighting to grow Venus Flytraps and other carnivorous plants. The cops had apparently walked by and seen 'green' through the window and thought something fishy was going on. I ran into one of them in the nearby gas station and he I guess knew I had been working in there (helping setup stuff) asked what we were doing in a 'welcome to the neighborhood' type of way... I told him and he laughed, told me that they thought was going on and just chuckled. I gave him a plant for his kids. Good protection.

    My friend has a greenhouse and nursery going on Kirby Lane now, called Natural Elements. It's a pretty cool shop, exotic tropicals, carnivors, and pier one type goodies.

    WOW this is an old thread! Just for the fun of it. I had a total of 760 watts when I had my 100 gallon.

    Things have changed over the years now!! Who here has the least watts that supports SPS. LED is the name of the game!
