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.
Wow Joe, I'm surprised! I would have guessed you wanted more blue. Maybe it's just me. The two Apollo fixtures I have are 20K (a bunch of blue)....I think the first channel is all blue for these fixtures....and that's what comes on first for my light cycle. It really makes the corals...
Not sure if you're wanting more blue, but I also have blue chips remaining that you could have....they are 450-453 blue. They are advertised as Royal Blue 453nm-460nm
Welcome @Diogenes7 . I'm in agreement with above statements, but since we don't have this tank on a stand, lets start with the stand. You have a choice of using 1 by lumber, 3/4 ply or dimensional lumber, skinned with whatever floats your boat. (You can also go metal, but I was never a...
What? That's some pretty nice block printing, if I say so myself. I'd actually bet that Paul took mechanical drawing in High School, the way those letters are printed. Since I suffer from the same affliction, I'll take the bet one step further, and state that his script is so bad, he can't...
I am now all LED.....DT and sump. I originally was all T5's, overdriving the bulbs with IceCap ballasts. Still have a bunch of ballasts and maybe 30 bulbs. However, what hurt was the heat (not as bad and Metal Halide) and the yearly bulb changing costs of approximately $130.
Have I...
Sorry to see that Kevin. I recently switched to a Waveline DC6000 that I picked up used from Tommyboy. I still have MAG 9.5's ready to jump in there if and when the Waveline dies. I was actually thinking about picking up a Jebao DC6000 as a backup to the Waveline. Now I'll re-think...
I have a couple questions.....FYI, the advertised level of Mag in Red Sea Coral Pro salt at 35 PPT is 1350 to 1430 mg/l.
1. What are you using to measure salinity....refractometer, swing arm hydrometer, floating hydrometer, etc?
2. What test kit are you using to measure magnesium?
Well, if you consider new, The Hidden Reef (in Levittown, PA) also sells new tanks at cost....they figure they have you hooked for the rest of the gear.
