Where do I find an old car?

BTW, anyway to make this whole ting smaller?

Old car donno... how to make it smaller? You mean the container? Too small a container no point coz it can't store enough water (usually mine lasts for 2 weeks straight)

If you are talking about the controller (i.e. the electronics) not likely either because all the items take up space

dun understand y u 1 a smaller container ... might as well top up on your own then :lol::lol::lol:

Also , the size of the DIY box is dependent on individual .... basically how good r u with the soldering iron ... :whistle:thanks:

ervine ... thanks for the great design :bow: ... made my life so much easier with the top up system .... now can really enjoy watching the tank ... ( added a CA reactor too ) .... full throttle ahead ;)

Sure thing.. it made my life a whole lot easier too!! (and my dad's coz he looks after my tank while I mug away in uni)

Of course I'm happy to see that people are "upgrading" my (well not really mine) design... the more ideas the better!!

anymore great ideas/design ???

Uni ... NUS/NTU ... EEE/MPE/CSE? :snore:

:off:

NUS.. aki actually...

Would be great if someone could remake the electronics into purely solid state and make the box a lot smaller and neater.... maybe design the circuit then send it for etching or whatever they call it... to make it into a proper circuit board, rather than a mess of wires running around...
