    Media reactor converted to cylinder UAS

    Howdy I just finished a weekend long project converting my reef octopus bio pellet reactor to a UAS with an estimated cylinder screen at 150 sq inches and 48 watts of LEDs (8 stunner strips: 4 magenta 3 magenta/blue and 1 blue white) powered by a tunze. I am hoping this will be enough light

    Its up and running any comments / critiques would be appreciated

    Thanks Click image for larger version

    The Screen is the typical roughed up to prickly plastic cactus, knitting mesh, just formed to a cylinder via a form and super glue

    Can't really critique it because I have never seen anyone make anything like it, but I hope for the best and really look forward to updates to see how good it works. Great job 'thinking outside the box' in more ways than one.
