    Hello NJReefers - Let's do something new this year

    I like it! Sunny you will never cease to amaze me……For the good of the club. I hope this strawman you’ve put together is taken under consideration by the board. I’m not even sure if $$ is necessary…just having won this award, I think, is enough incentive.

    Zippys tank

    Pete, nice progress from the nano to the big tank. You mentioned tank shots from four months ago….how does it look now? I also amused myself when I saw this picture: I was only reading up to the picture….and then looking at the picture…..and I’m thinking, “What did he have...

    Looking for a driver for my led fixture

    What I know about electronics would fit on the head of a pin, but I do believe that the two Meanwell drives that I’m aware of, their milliamp output is adjustable….so they would fit your requirements. This could be true with other brands, but again, I only know enough to be dangerous.

    68 CREE LED 3 mean well 60-48p driver parallel build

    Dave, looks like it’s coming together nicely. Maybe I missed an earlier post, but why are the lights on hinges? It looks like the canopy is high enough to get in and out of the tank without having to move the lights out of the way.

    Kschweers rebuild. 57g rimless

    I'm rimless as well. Just have to make sure you mount the GH Overflow down a touch from the top. I'm not home right now, but I can measure this when I get home and let you know how far down mine is.

    Kschweers rebuild. 57g rimless

    Starfire glass shouldn't be any different from regular glass. And is the back glass actually Starfire?

    Kschweers rebuild. 57g rimless

    Yeah….definitely keep the bit in water. In addition, it’s so much easier getting the bit to drill the exact spot if you use a guide. The Glass-Holes kit I purchased (1500 gph) had this guide….not only to guide the bit, but make sure the two holes were the right distance apart. If you don’t...

    ThatGuys 42 to 75 upgrade

    Certainly people have had success with Tao Tronics fixtures (Chinese LEDs). My son had one over his 40B unit he recently broke it down. I currently have that fixture over a JBJ 28 until my new fixture arrives. As Nyte mentions above (and others), the lastest and greatest Chinese LEDs are...

    Kschweers rebuild. 57g rimless

    Luke, my son (I mean Kevin), don’t be drawn into the dark side by these Bogan deceivers who think that that monstrous black box is the way to go. Believe in the Force……….Glass-Holes! Knowing that the glass is not tempered, you’re 90% of the way there. Drilling is a breeze…..you keep the...

    Dance Glass-Holes Dance The only way I'd go with a tank. Those behemoth conventional overflows are a joke.

    Adding potentiometer on Chinese LEDs?

    Kevin, not a problem. Let me know when you'd like to take the trip. Also, have you watched any of the Glass-Holes videos?

    Adding potentiometer on Chinese LEDs?

    This isn’t coming from me, but from Der Wille Zur Macht over on RC who is an LED guru… You (typically) CAN NOT dim or control a typical LED rig by adding a resistor or potentiometer (sliding or otherwise) to the DC output, i.e. in series with the LED string. 99% of commercially produced HP LED...

    Dow flake and such

    John, again, it’s been a few years, but I purchased it from Edison Millworks and Hardware (a True Value Hardware store) located at 9 Old Post Road, Edison, just off of Woodbridge Avenue…..(732) 985-2700. Check True Value stores in your area. I’ve seen Prestone Driveway Heat in a number of...

    Dow flake and such

    I could not find DowFlake when I started using Randy’s two part a couple years ago. I ended up buying Preston Driveway Heat, and I’ve been using that since. It’s anhydrous, and therefore you only need two cups per gallon to make up the calc part. Randy does mention Driveway Heat as a...

    Quieting Overflow

    Back when we had an HOB, we had the same problem. Noisy! Built a durso style shorten stand-pipe that simply friction fitted into the bottom of the overflow…….a simple and inexpensive solution. I’ll go down into the basement, and if I find it, I’ll post a picture.

    Stainless Steel plus Saltwater Equals Rust

    Update: Correction – My wife was actually cooking something when I did the ramekin baking of the blades and see actually turned the oven up to 450. I didn’t know that until now. Just pulled the wire-hanging group out of the oven, and 350 wasn’t hot enough for Canola oil. I just have hot...
