I think the link above is a driver that you can dim. I have no dimmers on mine. I think THIS ONE is the closest I've found so far....although mA is a touch high.

Kevin, they have to be available somewhere! I think I might be close with THIS ONE, but it would help if I could read Chinese. If I have the time, I'll do some more digging.

Rob, what I don't get is that this driver has the same appearance in the TauTronics, Apollo and Reefbreeder fixtures I have (and nothing with a label.) You would think they'd be a dime-a-dozen on ebay or amazon, or somewhere, but I can't find a-one.

Led light woes This has not been a good time for me with lights. As I've explained HERE, I had to rebuild my Apollo LEDs, where one is done and hanging in the tank, and the second is awaiting the LED beads coming on a slow boat from China. In the mean time I have been using an old...

First look at the water level in the main tank area. If it's touching the plastic, first clean the saw teeth overflow. If after that the water is still touching the plastic frame, (and especially if you've pulled out the stock pumps and put in MJ1200's), I'd go to one pump. I'm only...

I believe the most reliable temperature probe is a thermistor.....it looks like a little bead sealed in plastic/rubber at the end of a wire. The ones made with the glass frit (looks similar to a pH probe) can clog with precipitate and become unreliable.

A very common problem with JBJ's is that you are either pumping too much water into the main tank area and/or the saw teeth overflow is slightly clogged causing too much water to remain in the main tank area. Take a look at the water level in the main tank area and if it is touching the top...

Mark, I appologize, I'm not familiar with your setup. So I'm going to assume since you're talking about a temperature controller, you don't have a controller for your tank (Apex, Reef Angel, ReefKeeper, etc). That being the case, YOU NEED A TEMPERATURE CONTROLLER. Any heater will...

Your high calc and mag numbers should not be an issue. And, as mentioned, it didn't come from the addition of the rock. What salt are you using? Some salt formulations have high alk, calc and/or mag concentrations. Also, are you dosing anything?

Well I opened up the second Apollo, thinking that I only had maybe 15 LED's to replace. Found that all the blue LEDs (40 of them) were melted. The LEDs would still light, but the lens portions were melted off. Here's the entire board, where you can see the 40 charred LEDs, while the 15...

Time for an update......the LED beads arrived: Installing the new LED's was cake. Used the Noctua NT-H1 thermal compound between the LED and the flat aluminum plate. However, having sufficient thermal compound for between the finned aluminum and flat plate became an issue. I...

Happy Birthday Mike. Enjoy!

Praveen, the words say Hanna Calcium checker, but the picture shows an Alkalinity checker. If it's the Alkalinity checker, I'll take it.

I was out on the porch yesterday evening between 7 and 8 PM, and it was like a World War I dog-fight with so many hummers wanting to come in to feed. I have two feeders out, around the corner from each other, but they know this, and being so territorial, check both feeders before coming in to...

Ed, you're being too hard on yourself. I'm not overly concerned about you being termed a "Gyre Fan Boy," but more concerned about your love life. I've been told that Jen doesn't want any more kids out of fear that you'll insist that the new baby be called Gyre. :o :o :o :wink: Of...

Mark, that looks very nice. Great job!

Wow! A whole lot of true in those words. I'm a soccer referee.....been doing it for 35 years or so. I just had this conversation last weekend with the crew I worked with how, more specifically, the U17-18 and 19 year old boys show very little respect for authority. It has gotten more...

On the Eheim Every Day Feeder I believe the little fan only comes on when the feeder is doing its turning thing. If not, then my fan has stopped working on both of my feeders. Also, if you feed a floating type of food (flakes), you'll want to pick up a feeding ring or simply make one out...

I resurrected this thread because I was just out on my porch carbon dosing when a ruby throated humming bird came in to feed. I've had my feeders out for about two weeks or so and this is the first hummer I've seen this year. So get you feeders out there now! Simple recipe.....1 cup...

After all that closet work with the remote sump! You better be staying in NJ. Best of luck with the move. Give a holler if you need a hand.
