:biggrin: Hi Steve,

Tests went real well, this thing shoots like a fire hose. Have already started to put another couple of Rats together.

Nice thing is not to have to worry about any O-Rings or internal leaks. :rolleyes:

Van :cool:

And when are they going to be available to us thrify reef-keepers? :cool:

:biggrin: Send me a PM or e-mail for further info on availability. This thread will kept be for technical info. :biggrin:

Van :cool:

:biggrin: After fiddling in the garage again last weekend I built a Rat with the outlet assembly on the left-hand side of the unit. Actually looks pretty neat!

This I figured would allow me to put the unit in the front left-hand corner of my tank and it would still be effective since the jet-nozzle would be far enough away from the glass to avoid it hitting.

Enter the friend....

"Hey, why don't you build one with two nozzles that rotate opposite to each other so they cover an area of 180 degrees...?"

Is this something that appeals to you folks? 180 degree sweep Rats?

Van :cool:

Heeeyy,

Now yer thinkin'! :wink:

Christy :)

Sounds appealing to me..........

If you get around to making 1" ones....Put me down for two.
:mrgreen:

:biggrin: Fudge,

Sounds neat eh? It'll be 1" for sure, the only thing I'm wondering about is whether I should use a single feed pipe with an external Tee feeding the 2 outlet nozzles. :confused:

Or perhaps 2 separate feed pipes for 2 pumps! :eek: This may be the only way to jam all that stuff in the same casing I use on all my Rats.

This just gave me another idea :idea:, get back to you on this soon!

Van :cool:

Yes, sounds awesome.
This would be preferable for me anyways,keep me updated.

Thx,

:biggrin: Hello Everyone,
