DIY ATC800

 I've been toying with a better temp control stystem for a while and decided to follow what Paul (4 head) had done with the ATC800 unit. I'm very pleased with the results, although wishing I'd bought this ready made from Forttex - cost about the same as I've spent!
Anywayyyyyyy, here's the finished project pictures:

Wiring up the twogang extensions for cooling (extractor fan and 12" fan will plug in here) and heating



Here's the ATC800 and the ABS box to house it safely


Cutting holes for the flanges and big one for the unit


Testing my wiring......it works!


All done and cooling my hot tank down!



I found a good step by step guide on the net which also helped - especially with double checking the connections.

Room with a view

Here's an update of how the tank looks when you walk into the room......



The dolls house is about two foot high, which gives you some idea of how high the tank is!
I just need to tidy up the access pannels, so you won't see the gaps
