Folks, if you've recently upgraded or renewed your annual club membership but it's still not active, please reach out to the BOD or a moderator. The PayPal system has a slight bug which it doesn't allow it to activate the account on it's own.
Glass Cages has a '65 wide' that is 36x24x17, starts at $335. They also have a 36x18x25 '70 tall' starting at $188. You can customize with starfire, etc
I've got 5x 200AH batteries on their way to me... I also ordered a 2000w inverter that automatically switches to recharge the batteries when power is restored. That should run 500w average for about 24 hours, enough to power the return pump, refrigerator, and boiler until I can get a 200' power...
I finally finished the 5 LED modules... Took about 9 months, though obviously in fits and starts. All the LEDs have carclo wide ripple optics.
So that is 24x Cree XPG warm white, 60x XPE cool white, 60x XPE royal blue, 2x AI Sol Blue, 2x 4' magenta and blue stunner strips.
So, about 600w...
15 gallons of Reef Crystals is $3.85. You'd have to live literally right next to the water (in which case, I hate you, *I*
want a beach house!) or take 50-100 gallons at a time just to break even on gas. If I had a beach house, I'd have a permanent pipe out in the sea. It'd be awesome.
In terms of pretty, Reef Angel is not... Apex tries to be the Apple to RA's Linux... But they both have warts. Both will do what you're asking, they are both very capable. Apex ends up possibly looking nicer (cable-wise) because it daisy chains, an it also has a separate display, so you can...
You should probably set your budget expectations a bit higher though. $2-300 won't get you much. Don't get the junior/lite version, that's a false economy, you should get the full version. $500 but will meet your needs, and grow.
For next north meeting, do we not have meetings at retail locations anymore? I remember having a few north meetings at sponsor stores before, after-hours. They were fun.
