I got mine from RS, but they're pretty noisy so they're unplugged and i'm using a 6" desk fan(clip on)... works really well...super quiet! My lighting and fan are on the same timer, too.]]> Mon, 31 May 2004 12:03:59 +0000 http://www.utahreefs.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=2494&PID=26303&title=hood-pics#26303 <![CDATA[Hood pic’s : Yup that's how my fans are...]]> http://www.utahreefs.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=2494&PID=26295&title=hood-pics#26295 Author: jfinch

Yup that's how my fans are turned on and off too. Same switch as lights.

For the quietest fan you'll never hear check out the orion fans from standard supply electrical in SLC. The 5" model (1400 rpm) moves LOTS of air and makes no noise at all.

I have a simple little fan like you get at radioshack. It plugs into the same powerstrip as my lights, so whenever my lights are on (but a HD timer) the fan is on. When they are off, the fan is off.

I've done it like that for about 12 years.

Where do you guys get your fans, and what do you have to turn them on/off? What kind of temp control is on them?

Thanks,

Rodney

Mines got about 6 coats of stain/sealer(brushed)on all surfaces with an additional 4 on accents, doors and trim(for darker color)... all followed with 3 polyurethane coats(brushed). I wasn't aware of an available spray that would do the proper applications... sure would have been nice, though. ]]> Tue, 04 May 2004 23:06:09 +0000 http://www.utahreefs.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=2494&PID=24753&title=hood-pics#24753 <![CDATA[Hood pic’s : My hood is finished with about...]]> http://www.utahreefs.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=2494&PID=24667&title=hood-pics#24667 Author: jfinch

Too Cool!!! I love the smell of fresh wood!!! Did you guys be sure to
give 'em a couple of coats of marine varnish? Salt water will eat
wood! It also seems to eat the varnish after a few years!]]> Tue, 04 May 2004 05:19:08 +0000 http://www.utahreefs.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=2494&PID=24665&title=hood-pics#24665 <![CDATA[Hood pic’s : Hey, I wanna play...

Hey, I wanna play... Do y'all mind if I chime in and show off my new toys?

New halides and modified pc's in canopy with fans and diy moon light(blue led's).

Thanks for the comments, guys.

bhaight, the front of the hood is built just like your kitchen cabinets (if you have raised paneled doors), only I have three panels rather then one. You need a router or shaper and special rail and stile (sometimes called cope and stick) bits to shape the outside pieces (again look closely at your kitchen cabinets to see how they go together). Then another large bit to make the inner "raised" panel. If you've never done this before, it might sound complicated but it's not. But it does require specialized tools. If you don't have these tools it's very expensive to go out and buy them. Fortunately, woodworking is another hobby of mine, a lot of the furniture in my house I made, so I had the tools available to build my hood

jfinch, could you describe how you did the paneling? I may be doing something similar in the near future and at this point don't know how to do something like that.]]> Mon, 03 May 2004 21:46:28 +0000 http://www.utahreefs.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=2494&PID=24657&title=hood-pics#24657
