So I saw a video on this awhile back and have been thinking about it ever since. The basic concept is to take a fake security camera that swivels and turn It into a rotating powerhead. I'll attach a Wp40 to it. I'm pretty good with diy but not the greatest with electrical. From what I remember of the video there isn't much electrical to change though. Thoughts? I'm putting a picture of the fake camera below.  Sent from my SM-N910R4 using proboards |

Not a dumb idea, can you link the video? I can't find it? I was looking at something totally different and stumbled upon it. I tried to Google diy seaswirl with a fake security camera but got nothing close. Sent from my SM-N910R4 using proboards |

Sent from my SM-N910R4 using proboards I don't think it's that no one is interested, no one is getting on the board lately except a few of us faithful. I thought it was a pretty cool idea. Seems like since the swap, no one gets on the board. |

I look about 5 times a day to see whats going on, on here. Not much at all. I'm new to the hobby and it's hard to get anyone to join.

I thought it spun around a little to fast for my liking. I want my wp40 to sit across from my Gyre and rotate back and forth to hit every dead spot in my tank... |

I've gotten lots of help and learned a lot of new innovations. I have been in this hobby for 21 years now and wish I had this board to refer to during that time. |

Interesting. Like the idea but it seems quite complicated. I guess if I could play the video a little slower (and without the music) it wouldn't be so bad.

Trying to figure out a practical way to put this in my system. I, like Jason, need to figure out a way to help stir up the mid and lower section. Returns are great at the top and center of the tank, using scwd, but collecting a lot of detritus on rocks and sand.
