| RichT | yea....kinda died out | 21:34 |
| ReefDrumz | i dont get it | 21:34 |
| RichT | strong for a while though | 21:34 |
| RichT | life I guess | 21:34 |
| ReefDrumz | yeah I know...maybe the nice weather..I dunno | 21:34 |
| RichT | how's the 240 | 21:34 |
| ReefDrumz | put fish in today! | 21:35 |
| ReefDrumz | just 10 chromis | 21:35 |
| RichT | to cycle or the cycle done | 21:35 |
| ReefDrumz | no, it's cycled already | 21:35 |
| ReefDrumz | they are so freaking small | 21:35 |
| ReefDrumz | all about an 1" | 21:35 |
| RichT | yep.....they may get to 2" | 21:35 |
| RichT | I had a couple 2" | 21:36 |
| ReefDrumz | i love them.. I'd like to get 20...lol | 21:36 |
| RichT | I had as many as 10 at one time | 21:36 |
| RichT | down to 1 | 21:36 |
| ReefDrumz | yeah, did they kill each other? | 21:36 |
| RichT | don't know | 21:36 |
| RichT | one by one they'd dissappere | 21:36 |
| RichT | I think I may have a preadator | 21:37 |
| ReefDrumz | ur kidding | 21:37 |
| RichT | don't know | 21:37 |
| ReefDrumz | things are disappearing? | 21:37 |
| RichT | every now and then | 21:37 |
| ReefDrumz | who knows what the hell goes on in that rock..its crazy sometimes | 21:37 |
| RichT | I just had a partial crash | 21:38 |
| ReefDrumz | when I soaked my rock a huge black worm came out of it..like 12" long | 21:38 |
| ReefDrumz | yeah..how did that all turn out? | 21:38 |
| RichT | actually I crashed it | 21:38 |
| ReefDrumz | i read your post | 21:38 |
| RichT | just starting to look like it's coming back | 21:38 |
| ReefDrumz | that's good! | 21:38 |
| RichT | I lost about 50% | 21:38 |
| ReefDrumz | damn | 21:38 |
| RichT | some nice pieces too | 21:38 |
| RichT | sad | 21:39 |
| ReefDrumz | it amazing how bad things happen so fast | 21:39 |
| ReefDrumz | I loved your tank too!! | 21:39 |
| RichT | no S | 21:39 |
| RichT | it will be back | 21:39 |
| ReefDrumz | you have some of the coolest aquascaping | 21:39 |
| RichT | learn from mistakes and make it better | 21:39 |
| ReefDrumz | that drop off thing was cool | 21:39 |
| RichT | thanks | 21:39 |
| ReefDrumz | that's kind of what I was looking to do in the new tank... | 21:39 |
| ReefDrumz | can you say... COPY CAT! | 21:39 |
| RichT | naw.....go for it | 21:39 |
| ReefDrumz | hope you dont mind | 21:40 |
| RichT | as long as you do it better | 21:40 |
| ReefDrumz | It's not easy that's for sure | 21:40 |
| RichT | I was lucky to find such big pieces | 21:40 |
| ReefDrumz | i've never did a tank that was 6' long...or with all that height | 21:40 |
| ReefDrumz | its' a lot different | 21:40 |
| RichT | lot more room = more $ | 21:41 |
| ReefDrumz | no poop | 21:41 |
| RichT | I screwed up when I bought mine | 21:41 |
| RichT | should have gotten 24" | 21:41 |
| RichT | wide | 21:41 |
| ReefDrumz | i have 210#'s of rock...it looks like nothing | 21:41 |
| ReefDrumz | yeah 24 | 21:41 |
| ReefDrumz | your 18? | 21:41 |
| RichT | I wouldn't add too much more | 21:41 |
| RichT | yea 18" wide | 21:42 |
| ReefDrumz | your height is like mine right? 32? | 21:42 |
| RichT | mine is actually 29 | 21:42 |
| ReefDrumz | oh | 21:42 |
| ReefDrumz | i can BARELY reach the bottom | 21:42 |
| ReefDrumz | just my fingertips...lol | 21:42 |
| RichT | yea...thats tough for sure | 21:42 |
| RichT | I'm lucky I got knuckle dragers | 21:43 |
| ReefDrumz | lol! | 21:43 |
| ReefDrumz | I need to do the layout right the first time | 21:43 |
| RichT | still tough to reach though | 21:43 |
| RichT | its hard | 21:43 |
| ReefDrumz | hopefully I will have the lighting done next week | 21:44 |
| ReefDrumz | wiring...the next dilemma | 21:44 |
| ReefDrumz | lol | 21:44 |
| RichT | you know an electrican | 21:44 |
| RichT | the ballasts have diagrams usually | 21:44 |
| ReefDrumz | yeah, I think I can do it.. | 21:45 |
| RichT | no problem | 21:45 |
| ReefDrumz | it's not rocket science for sure...i get a bit nervous with that sort of thing | 21:45 |
| RichT | you'll do fine | 21:45 |
| ReefDrumz | I need to figure out where I want all the ballasts though. | 21:46 |
| ReefDrumz | i was thinking under the stand since there is nothing in there | 21:46 |
| RichT | keep the metal halide as far away as possible | 21:46 |
| RichT | remember....heat rises | 21:46 |
| RichT | but you may have no choice | 21:46 |
| ReefDrumz | they are all electronic ballasts..I was hoping they didnt get too hot | 21:47 |
| RichT | I had to take the cover off mine so they wouldn't self shut down | 21:47 |
| ReefDrumz | wow..really | 21:47 |
| RichT | yep | 21:48 |
| ReefDrumz | i can mount them on a wall a few feet away from the tank | 21:48 |
| RichT | what brand do you have | 21:48 |
| ReefDrumz | ice cap and aro | 21:48 |
| RichT | I have some off brand that I got with a retro kit on ebay | 21:48 |
| RichT | newbie when I bought them | 21:48 |
| ReefDrumz | isnt that always the way...lol | 21:49 |
| RichT | they seem to do ok since i took the covers off | 21:49 |
| ReefDrumz | that's cool | 21:49 |
| ReefDrumz | Maybe I'll skip the stand thing..put them somewhere else | 21:50 |
| RichT | when I do the fish room in the basement, I'm gonna move them under the floor in the basement drop ceiling | 21:50 |
| ReefDrumz | good idea | 21:50 |
| RichT | basement is always cool | 21:50 |
| ReefDrumz | except mine! lol | 21:51 |
| ReefDrumz | the tanks make it hot down here..need to use AC for the friggin basement! | 21:51 |
| RichT | that hot | 21:51 |
| RichT | hows the puppy | 21:51 |
| ReefDrumz | if it's hot out and the air isn't on...yeah it's hot down here | 21:51 |
| ReefDrumz | doesn't make sense...I know | 21:52 |
| RichT | how's the puppy doing | 21:52 |
| ReefDrumz | finally came out of her shell...she's nuts | 21:53 |
| ReefDrumz | but fun | 21:53 |
| RichT | cool | 21:53 |
| ReefDrumz | except when she chews wires | 21:53 |
| ReefDrumz | gotta love that | 21:53 |
| ReefDrumz | just caught her chomping on the laptop power cord | 21:53 |
| RichT | threw tough to replace wires is always fun | 21:53 |
| RichT | need to lay an extension cord out for the lesson | 21:54 |
| ReefDrumz | yeah | 21:54 |
| ReefDrumz | all the fun stuff | 21:54 |
| RichT | my dad told me a story | 21:54 |
| RichT | that when he was little | 21:55 |
| RichT | his dog got into a lamp wire | 21:55 |
| RichT | and it stuck to his tooth | 21:55 |
| ReefDrumz | holy crap | 21:55 |
| RichT | he was shaking and crapping | 21:55 |
| ReefDrumz | ohh man | 21:56 |
| ReefDrumz | that's terrible | 21:56 |
| RichT | dog lived many many years | 21:56 |
| RichT | didn't chew any wires after that | 21:56 |
| ReefDrumz | yeah, I bet! lol | 21:56 |
| RichT | smokey was his name | 21:56 |
| RichT | even before chewing the wire | 21:56 |
| ReefDrumz | get the f outta here! | 21:56 |
| ReefDrumz | LMAO | 21:57 |
| RichT | I remember him from when I was a kid | 21:57 |
| RichT | real young | 21:57 |
| ReefDrumz | really? was that really his name? | 21:57 |
| RichT | that's how my grandmother got her name.....smokeygrandmom | 21:57 |
| CTCP SOUND: laugh.au laugh from ReefDrumz (ReefDrumz!NJRC_@XXXXX.nwrknj.east.verizon.net) to #NJRC | 21:58 | |
| RichT | yep....big ol sheapard | 21:58 |
| RichT | I remember laying on him and taking naps | 21:58 |
| ReefDrumz | cool dogs...when trained properly | 21:58 |
| ReefDrumz | my neighboor when I was growing up had MEAN Sheppards | 21:59 |
| ReefDrumz | had to lock them up when you came over and everything | 21:59 |
| RichT | well....smokey wasn't mean.....but he was definetly in charge of security | 21:59 |
| ReefDrumz | one bit me...another totally attacked one of my friends..(which was kind of funny) | 21:59 |
| ReefDrumz | Most other ones that I have met weren't mean like that... | 22:00 |
| RichT | depends on the upbringing | 22:00 |
| RichT | u8sually | 22:00 |
| ReefDrumz | right..my neighbors were like the Klopecks | 22:00 |
| RichT | Klopecks? | 22:01 |
| RichT | oh | 22:01 |
| ReefDrumz | damn...from that movie with Tom Hanks | 22:01 |
| RichT | Beverley Hillbillies | 22:01 |
| ReefDrumz | Is that it? | 22:01 |
| RichT | don't know | 22:01 |
| ReefDrumz | I dont think so...damn... | 22:01 |
| ReefDrumz | wait | 22:02 |
| RichT | I have a new tank gift for you when your ready | 22:02 |
| ReefDrumz | the burbs | 22:03 |
| ReefDrumz | had to find it...lol | 22:03 |
| RichT | hmmmmm......don't remember that | 22:03 |
| ReefDrumz | gift?? | 22:04 |
| RichT | clone of that ric you gave me at Jeff Curry's | 22:04 |
| ReefDrumz | Sweet! | 22:04 |
| RichT | I was real happy when it split | 22:04 |
| ReefDrumz | I forgot to look for those in your tank...The ledge had me mesmerized | 22:04 |
| RichT | I knew excatly what I wanted to do with it | 22:05 |
| ReefDrumz | and that blue light..i was like yeah...cool...man...yeah... | 22:05 |
| ReefDrumz | lol | 22:05 |
| ReefDrumz | like chong or something | 22:05 |
| RichT | I toned the blue down | 22:05 |
| RichT | all | 22:05 |
| RichT | 15K now | 22:05 |
| ReefDrumz | what were you using 20k? | 22:05 |
| RichT | 20 on the outside and 15 in the middle | 22:06 |
| ReefDrumz | ahh | 22:06 |
| ReefDrumz | the 20's werent kind of green? | 22:06 |
| ReefDrumz | i've only ever used flourescent 20's | 22:06 |
| RichT | I'm still not satisified with the lights | 22:06 |
| ReefDrumz | no? | 22:06 |
| ReefDrumz | what do you want more color? | 22:06 |
| RichT | want the pop and the growth | 22:07 |
| ReefDrumz | why not do 10k's in the middle? | 22:07 |
| RichT | tried it ....looked silly | 22:07 |
| ReefDrumz | you could tell the different light sources? | 22:07 |
| RichT | I'm gonna try 3@10 K MH | 22:07 |
| ReefDrumz | good idea | 22:07 |
| ReefDrumz | you have t-5 right? | 22:08 |
| RichT | then mix and match my 6 t5 with the blues | 22:08 |
| ReefDrumz | right..that's probably your best bet | 22:08 |
| ReefDrumz | i would like a bluish color, but it's always too blue or not enough | 22:08 |
| RichT | got to redo my reflectors for the t5 to be any help | 22:08 |
| ReefDrumz | they arent the new style ones? | 22:09 |
| RichT | URI.....no | 22:09 |
| RichT | they don't come in 60" | 22:09 |
| RichT | yet | 22:10 |
| ReefDrumz | oh..but you could connect 2 couldnt you? | 22:10 |
| RichT | 2 to the same ballast....yes | 22:10 |
| ReefDrumz | oh, i thought you mean reflectors...sorry | 22:11 |
| ReefDrumz | i know what you mean now... | 22:11 |
| ReefDrumz | after I actually Thought about it..lol | 22:11 |
| ReefDrumz | are they still really expensive? | 22:11 |
| RichT | I have 5' parabolic reflectors | 22:11 |
| RichT | mine where free actually | 22:12 |
| RichT | I got them from a buddy | 22:12 |
| ReefDrumz | wow..free is sweet! | 22:12 |
| RichT | they use them on bridge lighting | 22:12 |
| ReefDrumz | that worked out well.. | 22:12 |
| ReefDrumz | are they good quality? | 22:12 |
| ReefDrumz | i mean the finish..not the construction of them | 22:13 |
| RichT | have you ever seen a rail on a bridge with florecent lighting in it | 22:13 |
| RichT | finish is mirror | 22:13 |
| RichT | have protective film | 22:13 |
| ReefDrumz | thats great | 22:13 |
| RichT | peel off the film and WOW!!!! | 22:13 |
| ReefDrumz | lol | 22:13 |
| ReefDrumz | can't wait to do that with my reflectors | 22:14 |
| RichT | my buddy thought they were white | 22:14 |
| ReefDrumz | really? | 22:14 |
| RichT | I had to show him that you had to peel off the plastic | 22:14 |
| ReefDrumz | oh..lol | 22:14 |
| ReefDrumz | haha | 22:14 |
| RichT | I wonder how many reflectors he installed incorrectly | 22:15 |
| ReefDrumz | the chromis are scared to go to the other end of the tank | 22:15 |
| RichT | State workers | 22:15 |
| ReefDrumz | he wasnt peeling the plastic off? | 22:15 |
| ReefDrumz | holy crap | 22:15 |
| ReefDrumz | that's funny | 22:15 |
| RichT | actually I don't know if he was the one installing them | 22:15 |
| ReefDrumz | oh | 22:16 |
| RichT | white actually does a better job of reflecting lighting then glass mirrors | 22:16 |
| ReefDrumz | really? | 22:16 |
| RichT | definitly.... | 22:17 |
| ReefDrumz | think i should paint the inside of my canopy white? | 22:17 |
| RichT | I think I read that in Sanjay stuff | 22:17 |
| RichT | definitly | 22:17 |
| ReefDrumz | hmm..paint it white and then seal it | 22:17 |
| RichT | the paint will also help with moisture | 22:17 |
| ReefDrumz | right...i've noticed that with my other canopy | 22:18 |
| RichT | good acrylic enamel should be fine | 22:18 |
| RichT | couple coats | 22:18 |
| ReefDrumz | right | 22:18 |
| RichT | maybe some prime of some kind first | 22:19 |
| ReefDrumz | I really can't wait till this is all done! | 22:19 |
| ReefDrumz | I want to look at some stuff...lol | 22:19 |
| ReefDrumz | yeah...that might be a good idea | 22:19 |
| RichT | I love staring at mine when it going good | 22:19 |
| RichT | been real tough the last month to look at though | 22:20 |
| ReefDrumz | yeah i know..can't wait to get to that point again...it relaxes me | 22:20 |
| ReefDrumz | yeah the other side of the story...never ending story....lol | 22:20 |
| ReefDrumz | once it's looking great...some BS happens | 22:20 |
| RichT | well....at least its starting to come back | 22:20 |
| RichT | I thought everything was gonna go | 22:20 |
| RichT | lost some favorities too | 22:21 |
| ReefDrumz | that really sucks | 22:21 |
| ReefDrumz | did you frag any for anyone? | 22:21 |
| RichT | I don't think fragging would have saved anything really | 22:22 |
| RichT | I got the parameters back where they belonged in 48 hours and stuff was still going | 22:22 |
| RichT | oh....you mean before the crash | 22:22 |
| kabal2 (NJRC_@XXXXX.dyn.optonline.net) joined #njrc. | 22:22 | |
