well, I hate impulse buying opportunities, but... goldflake angel and pair of flame wrasse - doesnt happen too often. they are in QT right now, but in 4 weeks they will come home. also got some first corals. the dip process was simple: 30 minutes in interceptor, 30 mintues in flatworm exit, 30...

+1 on their reasonable pricing of late - it is much better than in the past and in many cases better than other vendors from here.They are setting up huge rimless tank. something to see it to belive it. I bought 5x3 acro today for $99. huge colony. if you like corals - talk to Glen. nice guy and...

so you want to go from brightwell product to KZ zeo stuff. You got a nice tank, seen the pics, I would just be carefull with the conversion process. I have finished 14 day cycle about week ago and no major problems to report. some diatoms on new dead rock, got some corals yesterday and will let...

confused. are you on brightwell stuff now or are you planning to switch to them soon? if not, brightwell now, than zeovit soon?

Sunbrite - you are correct - they have even problem with their 2nd gen led bulbs - those were not even released as far as my knowledge. Wingos LED - you can see them at Manhttan Aquariums - just ask them to put it one since they have them in the store, but are not using - at least when I was...

I like to keep it to a simple conversation, but when you are wrong on type of LED used & penetration/PAR readings - I think it should be pointed out. I do agree with you that it is my concern what will happen in 5 yrs from now - and I dont have a clue on that.  I simply dont. My math was...

fixed.

Just to prove you are wrong: lets compare PAR reading from your lighting (MH or T5) against these LED - any time after Nov 15th. Tank size: 125gal, lighting: 3x250W hqi, 2x110W VHO, 2x80W( together 1130W!) http://www.nano-reef.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=168811 Tank size: 8x54W(432W)...

there is a risk to ANY LED fixture simply because they are new. you can do any research you want, I have done mine, but I cant find anyone using them for more than 2-3 yrs and nobody can tell how any of LED lights will perform 3-4-5 yrs from now. thats the problem i see. you can get the PAR...

a) They are using Cree LED 16000k not SMD. b) PAR readings: 2" depth - 1581 Par 12" depth - 551 Par 24" depth - 249 Par these readings compare pretty well against 400W MH.

I will tell you anything you want around Nov 15th. just stop by and see in person.

what LED bulbs should be used in your opinion?

can you post cost of the set up with each part? I want to compare how much would DIY work versus the one I am getting. just curious to compare costs.

Thanks Bax - I will be playing with Profilux dosing unit this weekend. I bought Ca, Alk, and Mg from TB Aquatics and with some corals coming on Monday I need to figure out the dosing unit. I bought used one and it looks like PH probe needs to be replaced. oh well, still saved like $200 on the...

I will know in 3 weeks. it doesnt seem too complicated from the pics. Sump? Not ideal for Zeo system since one compartment is not used at all, but I can fit anything there. And I got a good deal from TwinReef on here so I cant complain.

Every two weeks, Wed night is my favorite time. Guess why? Payday. but also got some other good news and decided to send the deposit for the lights. Yes, I did pull the triger finally. It will take 2-3 weeks go get it here, but what the hell, live once. Each lamp series BT-EX has a special...

that is on my "To Do" list - I have not solved this issue yet and not fully sure how to do it.

the bigger system brings "issues" I kind of didnt think about before - evaporation - comes to mind. Items needed to the fish room: a little fridge for the beer, TV and something to sit on :-)

seems big from the pics. but the tanks size is missleading and it is not that big if you stand in front of it. I had 48" bowfront, this one is 54" - only 6" difference. the big difference is in the fish room where everything is bigger and much easier to get to and play around. it was either now...

Fish Room design: here is where RC/NJReefs/MR came to the rescue. I have searched for some ideas and if you see something to what you did and posted - thank you. it made my life much easier to come up with a final version. I have Hammerhead pump in the middle as you can see. add some extra...
