Hi my name is V

My biggest achievement is recapturing burps in glass bottles and storing them next to the coloured sand ones!
Im a bit of a tossa with a quirky sense of humour and dont have a single clue what the story is with salt water - other than it tastes different than my normal drinking type!

I was definitely dropped too many times as a child, hence my current predicament ;)
Best intro ever

Lol 'vspec' my God son you do alright for being dropped on your head a few times. Certainly give me food for thought especially on the more techy subjects! I'd hate to see how smart you'd be if you had a 'regular' upbringing.. ;)

Wow its pretty hard to follow up after that. lol

Well my names Will, and celebrated the 8th anniversary of my 21st bday ;) , and I'm sure a few members here have seen me bouncing around the DIY threads in other forums. Saying I'm a bit of a DIY head is a little bit of an understatement. As far as I'm concerned if its brand new, it can work harder with a bit of tinkering (I'm surprised my PS3 hasn't been touched yet. But now that I mention it...)
Constantly on the go, constantly thinking, tinkering, and constantly doing something to stupid to hurt myself, whether that be on the back of a minimotoX, working on cars, or spurting blasphemy out my mouth when I hit my head on that tank stand while trying to improve something in the sump.
Currently have a TL-450 with a DIY LED retrofit, but currently working on a tall tank which my fiancee wants to take over for seahorses. We'll see about that one...

Similar - might have to have a discussion sometime on whether we are putting too many LED's over our tanks with the DIY builds. I have been thinking about this since a number of commercial products have been released over the last few months with a significantly reduced number of LED's.

Agree, and lets not forget that CREE 3w LED's are designed to be driven at 350mA so there is no problem in turning them down.
