Yellow = RPM (Revolution Per Minute) sensor. DON’T work on open wires with a live current going through them, make sure that everything is unplugged before soldering or twisting the wires.įirst, get to know the Black, Red, and Yellow Wires. You DO however need to be smart about it and put your safety first. This is quite easy and you do NOT need to be an electrician or even very knowledgeable about electrician “stuff”. This is the most daunting step for first-timers given the amount of questions I’ve seen.

the PVC fuse box and 'L' connector):Īt this point you are ready to power up your fans…but are faced with the issue of how to wire a 3-pin or 4-pin Molex connection (generally runs on DC current) to an AC wall socket.

Some additional items used for an External System are also in the photo (i.e. Some extra Fan Power Extensions (depends on the type of set-up you are using as to whether or not you will need these) Toothpicks or tongue depressors (for spreading silicone)ĩ. ½” Elbow Swing-Joint (I use Orbit brand Elbow Swing-Joint 90º)Ĩ.ē/8” Hex Nut (make sure it fits around the Brass Nipple)ĥ. The fans can be purchased online at a computer part store (such as ) or at a local electronic or computer store (I bought mine at Fry’s Electronics).Ħ. With the exception of the fans, you can pick up ALL the materials at your local Lowes or Home Depot. All you need to drill is one ½” hole (same size opening as that used for attaching MistKing nozzles). Furthermore, this In-Tank System reduces the size and number of holes to be drilled into the glass. Given that there is not as much length in these tanks as you find in the larger exo-terras and zoo meds an External System would result in the intake and exhaust openings being very close together.

I developed this to use with vertical conversion kits in 10 and 20 gallon tanks. There are many methods to achieve this goal - what I present here is one designed to fit my particular needs. This thread will outline the construction of an In-Tank Closed-Circuit Systems and two different methods for powering it.įirst, I suggest that you do a search for some of the other threads here on Dendroboard regarding 'Air Circulation'. This is part of thread I posted elsewhere, given some of the questions and pms I've recently received asking about the circulation systems used in my rack setup I've decided to post it here.
