Popular Post Randy 365 Posted July 10 Popular Post Share Posted July 10 It's not everyday that I get to build something in the warehouse, but when we needed to run an airline system to get circulation going to our newest plant tanks I was happy to play builder for a day. 1" PVC Ziss Never Clog Airstones Aquarium Co-Op Black Airline Tubing Aquarium Co-Op threaded individual air line valves and 2 Medo LA-45 linear piston air pumps. Each tank has 3 Ziss airstones to bring in a ton of air and move around a lot of water. My 2 tips will be 1) make your holes along the printed text to keep them aligned, and 2) use the drills chuck to screw in the air valves to save your fingers a lot of pain. 🙂 21 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Randy 365 Posted July 15 Author Share Posted July 15 We don't cut corners with customers or our crew. Today's warehouse project is the addition of the biggest, baddest, most techy fan would could fit! For those in the know, this brand of fan is top choice in warehouse and distribution center environments. (Blades not attached at time of taking this picture) And don't worry, professionals are installing this, not yours truly. lol 1 4 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Randy 365 Posted July 15 Author Share Posted July 15 When your fan blades have winglets! 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ForestJenn 106 Posted July 15 Share Posted July 15 Do the winglets help? Or are they like the spoilers on an economy sport car? I wonder if the fan has to be over a certain size in order for there to be an impact? Is it supposed to be more efficient or move more air? I wonder if Google knows? Off to check. I'm learning all sorts of new things today! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Administrators Cory 2 Posted July 16 Administrators Share Posted July 16 Had to stop by the warehouse to get some more plants and supplies to work on the 800g today. I thought it looked cool to see a bunch of people ordering our branded products on the belt. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I'm learning all sorts of new things today! In sailboat racing, we talk about the end-plate effect of having your headsail go all the way down to the deck. This keeps more flow attached to the foil, resulting in more aerodynamic efficiency and more power. So those winglets help move more air. 1 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

MickS77 800 Posted August 7 Share Posted August 7 Brine shrimp eggs? bulk airline tubing? new easy feeders? outlet timers? those potted plant holders you told Cory not to film haha Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Daniel 2,185 Posted August 7 Share Posted August 7 7 minutes ago, Randy said: No, but now I am intrigued by this idea. Yeah, my guess is that if y’all did a little market research, you would find that the people buying your plants, and buying EasyGreen, would be a ready market for an Aquarium Co-Op brand root tab plunger. There aren’t any available in the North American market, and it isn't a mechanically complicated device, doesn’t need UL approval, doesn’t need a MSDS. On the surface it would appear to be not too complicated to manufacture. Given, a user could put their eye out with it, but the liability aspect seems manageable, as would the customer support.
