Hello and welcome Mike! I'm glad to hear someone else has some experience with the RA. And yes, the people on their forums are very helpful. Hope to see you at Jim's house for the meeting. Maybe you can give me some pointers on setting my new RA up.

Just got an email with a UPS shipping notification for my Reef Angel Controller. Looks like I'll be able to test them out sooner than I thought... and I'll be able to bring them to the meeting for anyone else to see first hand!

That should be interesting!

Sounds pretty simple. I say go for it.

Pretty cool Paul!

Gotcha Paul. I thought that maybe you just attached the angle to the case by drilling your own holes or something. I just took mine apart again to take a closer look at the hanger studs on the top. They're just held on by a small nut on the inside of the top panel. I could probably just...

Paul, I took notes on your angle stock to mount the LED's in the canopy. That's kind of what I was thinking of doing for mine. How did you attach the angle to the fixture? Did you take any pics of that? Also, I'll be on the lookout for your canopy design. I need to build one very soon and...

Love the sarcasm Paul B! I picked up a copy of this book at the one in Mt. Laurel... they had one more left as of Friday. I also got the Freshwater version too. Both are well worth the $5 each.

I have to agree. Over the past 6 months or so, maybe longer, they've been getting better quality fish/corals overall. And their tanks have looked much cleaner and brighter (frag tanks got all new LED's). Not only that, they've become authorized dealers for both EcoTech and Neptune... so add...

... Greed!

I agree with Sid. This is probably just a temporary setback for these (or similar) laws. I'm glad they listened to the people and didn't proceed though. Maybe we really do have a voice in all this?

Hmm, I could have sworn I replied after Jim's last post. Maybe I just never hit the submit? Ah well, here goes again... Jim, thanks! (Guess this now applies to Don too ~>) Yea, not coming with it's own controller is the only negative I've found with these so far. I've been needing an excuse to...

Haha, love these things!

OK, here are the pics I promised. Sorry, I forgot to turn my flash on so some of them are a bit dark. I can retake any shots with better lighting if requested. First off, the packaging was simple yet perfectly effective. I opened one of the boxes upside down I think since one had a cutout and...

Sounds like this is all getting pretty serious.... and scary! :nervous

Paul, that might be the case for units you have but I was assured via email from Joe @ Apollo that the dimmable models have whites on 1 power cord / driver and the blues and violets are on a separate cord / driver. The moonlights are on their own also but those aren't dimmable. I managed to...

James, that's not a stupid question, but unfortunately it's not that simple. The drivers used accept a 0-10v signal. When no controller/dimmer signal is received, it assumes it is a "0" signal, meaning the lights are supposed to be off. So, without a controller of some sort sending the drivers a...
