Reef-Rat Evolution

[ReefVan]

Still alive and kickin', been busy with all sorts of projects but figured I'd let you see where the Reef-Rat design is at

Rat head-on... all dressed in black now

Rat with Euro-Brace/Acrylic tank mounting bracket

The Jet-Nozzle has undergone some mods.... i.e sch80 pipe to boost pressure and nozzle speed

Pretty ordinary looking power cord ....

Actually this is a 24vac jack... inherently safe low voltage. A big plus if you worry about stray voltage and dipping your equipment occasionally...

Basically these new Rats are dressed in black and are 24vac... can be used with a wall plug power transformer anywhere in the world....

Pretty cool now if I only knew what it was supposed to do. Is it a fancy powerhead/return thing-a-ma-bob?

Dragoon,

I'll let you keep guessing... I would of thought with that many posts under your belt that you would've used the search option....

Thanks taikonaut.. will do. Testing starts this week, should be no problem it's basically the same design and motor manufacturer with a different voltage and a third party 24vac adapter.

Is it a DIY, or for sale? Will there be plans available, after testing? What sizes are you making? 1/2, 3/4, 1"?

Thanx, It looks great!! well done
