Used Elos E-Lite XP (Silver) LED fixture (68w total) + controller. Controller is an Elos Tempo. Light fixture is here. $850 new, controller was $200. Info here Asking $400 for light, $100 for controller. $450 takes both.

Dinos seem under control these days. Bringing new lighting online now. Finished my second home built LED module: 12x 3w Cree XPE cool white, 12x 3w XPE Royal Blue, 6x 3w XPG Warm White. Housing is stainless steel, laser cut. I'm pretty pleased with how it came out, just three more to build...

No worries, Karl! I am just too lazy to make it to most of the central/south meetings, and my GF is furiously efficient at booking weekends ahead! One of these days I'll have to host... No excuses for me then! Your place sounds great, sorry I'll miss it!

+1 on the canopy

I use a Reeflo Dart, very good experience... I had it driving a 1" return line to the DT plus running my old AquaC EV-180 skimmer, and it did better than the Mag 12 I had previously been using dedicated. And it had more left over... so it saved me 100w.

Yup, yet another north meeting I have to miss because we faffed around long enough that my S.O. booked the weekend already. Meh.

Agree with dnov. Duster.

Where are you? EDIT: oops, I see it!

Go Canon or Nikon. All the other brands are a few years behind. Those two are the only ones that have invested enough into sensor research. Everyone got into the megapixel wars, kept bumping them higher, but image quality suffered since the whole industry wasn't improving light sensitivity as...

Where is it?

So I've disconnected my Seneye. It's inaccurate, the alerting doesn't work (and this is a service I'm paying for monthly!) and it's just a big disappointment. I'm keeping it around as a PAR meter (it's supposedly accurate enough for that), but otherwise it's a waste.

I will say that the EV-180 was really well built. I miss the simple twist to remove the skimmer cup (vs the infernal O-ring on my Avast Marine). But I did try out the EV on my new tank prior to upgrading, so my memory is fresh. Needle wheel skimmers are where it's at, I agree. Just for...

That EV-120 skimmer is not even close to being enough for your tank. I had an AquaC EV-180 on a 75 gallon tank, lightly stocked (2 clowns, a few chromis, and a small snowflake eel) and it was vastly undersized. Couple that with the energy-sucking pump you have to use to drive an AquaC (you need...

Fish room has an exterior (ground floor) wall? If electric is covered, the rest is just manual labor. You can totally DIY. You pulling a permit?

Awesome shot!

I've not done an install, but from what I've seen they're very easy as long as you get a model that doesn't require brazing. You're comfortable running the power?

Are these the lights? http://apolloreefled.com/shop/solarblast-ultra/ Just so you know, the Apollo dimmables are wired to take over an entire port from the Apex, so you'd need the Apex + a VDM module, or you'll have to hack together a cable that goes from one RJ45 cable and splits into three...

Though you can use it for top-off on freshwater. Just not for water change (without adding things back in, as Paul said)

Oh goodness.

though some of the baddies aren't so bad...
