With our "new" website, I didn't know this. Thanks for the heads up!

I'm considering a DCT as well and I was thinking the 6000 for my 90 DT with a 40 sump.

If I'm not mistaken, Interceptor is back on the market.

On another website someone suggested simply cutting the pipe length-wise with diagonal cutters or PVC shears. I don't own these tools, but instead cut with a hack saw......a very small saw kerf. I think the pipe is screaming from being stretched so wide, but I really like the tension on...

I should preface this with letting you know I'm a first class tinkerer. I like Ocean Nutrition Algae Clips. With their wide mouth, they perfectly fit the folded up piece of algae. I've only found one LFS (in Pennsylvania) that carries them (although I haven't looked very hard), and every...

I'm sorry, but this throws me back to a deja vu moment in 1972. My first year in college, calculators were just coming out. We were not allowed to use them on tests, because it wouldn't be fair to those who didn't have them, so we had to use slide rulers. So when I was ready, I went out...

Not sure I know what you mean by extra wire.....these are simply LED beads....the common LED in Chinese fixtures. Also not sure what you are questioning me about optics. I pull the lenses off my Mars Aqua. I think it had 90 degree optics, which I've since promised to Paul B. They simply...

Quality.....I don't know. Going on more than eight months and everything is still good. So I can't complain.

Well Chris, I'll show you a picture of Blues only....because that is where my light cycle is now....with Mars Aqua at 100% (with no lenses). Now it's not a true comparison because the Mars Aqua only has 22 blues while my Apollos have 30...and the Mars background is black, while Apollo is...

THESE are the LEDs I used for my fix. $20 for 50 LEDs.....can't beat it (I think). And THIS is the thermal compound I used between aluminum cooling plates.

I shall kindly bring that to Herbie's, and kindly take your $50, and kindly deliver the Frag Kit directly to you! :D Thanks John.

This is brand new, never been opened, still wrapped in cellophane, EcoTech Marine Coral Fragging Tool Kit. Comes in a fancy-pants wooden box with everything you need to start fragging today. HERE's the link to find out more info about the kit. What a great Christmas gift.....and if...

I shall be there with maybe my son...but that's a big maybe. I'll be bringing Ghirardelli Chocolate-Walnut Brownies. Looking forward to it.

Wow! Nice. You guys seem to have a ton of fish. Very nice video. Thanks for sharing.

If you're going to do the fix on these, I'd also suggest that you check the application of thermal compound between the finned aluminum and the flat aluminum. I believe that was the problem with my Apollos when I lost all my blue LEDs to burnout. I've found the the best bang for the buck on...

Apollo Users Beware!

Apollo Users Beware! Here's a shout out to the other Apollo users we have.....keep a close eye on your fans. I have now replaced all fans on my two ancient Apollos.....five of the six which had failed. HERE is the post documenting these failures.

Wow! The wood cut-out looks rather small. I think I'd try an adjustable vice grip. If you need this, you're more than welcome to borrow. Let me know. I should be home all day tomorrow.

They appear to be the bulkheads going into the bottom of the tank. You have to make sure that there is no tangential forces on these pipes....forces from the left or right. They need to "hang" straight down.

So I was going to wait for lights out to do my final "fix" to my lights.....removing the lenses from the Mars Aqua fixture. But I didn't wait. I staged all the tools needed and pulled the fixtures off, opened the Mars Aqua, and removed the lenses, put all back together, all within 20...
