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.
I don't know Paul. A couple more visits to the gym and I might look like one of these guys...
Blame yourself for finding that one. :p
Seriously though, that would be great if I could use 1" wide wood for the frame... especially if I can eliminate the middle brace. I'm sure I could make due...
Yea, that's not what I would call good customer service. 3 weeks is a long time to wait for a reply.
I've used the alk part of Randy's recipe and if I hadn't tried the 2-part products from Bulk Reef Supply I'd probably go back to that. In fact, I just re-ordered the calcium from BRS but plan...
Ahh, so the box frame doesn't actually split (as I was imagining)? I think that's a pretty simple and workable plan Paul.
I think for the "doors" I'd have them on a piano hinge so I could still flip one up 180 degrees and just lay it on top. I'm trying to avoid having the need for a support or...
Just wanted to say I stopped by Shawns on monday and picked up a couple frags and he's a great guy to deal with. I walked out with 3 frags, plus he gave me a magnet set for my frag rack for free. Well worth the trip and I'd recommend him if you're nearby.
Thanks again Shawn!
Tony/Terri (wish I knew which one of you was posting, hehe) I'd like to see the plans you were describing too if you don't mind. Can you email them or post them for me please?
Wow, lots of responses! Thanks everyone.
I think I'm leaning more towards what Paul and Gonzapa are suggesting. Being able to flip up (and preferably self support) the front and back sections might be my best option. I was originally considering closing the top (only leaving openings for the...
I'm going to build a canopy for my 75g tank, mainly to house my new LED's. There are lot's of designs out there on google, but I haven't found any that would fit my needs.
For one thing, my tank is viewable on 3 sides (front, back, and right side) so the typical type with an open back just...
Haha, while replacing the moonlight driver would likely void the warranty, I'm pretty sure just removing some screws of the case and examining the hardware didn't do anything to void my warranty. I didn't touch any wiring, components, clips, nor any screws inside the case so I did nothing that...
He could be right. It's possible the crab was just eating some algae that may have formed on the birdsnest, and the polyps retracted while he was disturbing those branches.
Check back in a day or so to see if they come back. If so, you tossed a perfectly good emerald. :cry:
Kind of off topic but... anyone know of any dimmable drivers that will run just 3 3w bridgelux LEDs? My Apollo LED's have 3 moonlights on each fixture (3W RB) running on a constant current 3 x 1W driver. I was wondering if I could switch out that driver with something that would allow me to...
I'm going to have to retract my offer on the finger leather for the raffle. The past couple days it has started drooping and shedding it's skin. I've done some research and apparently this is normal for them and happens quite often and they seem to recover on their own after a week or so...
Yea, I'm hoping it gets here before the 5-7 day estimate they show. It wouldn't be the first time UPS shipped me something earlier.
As for figuring out how to get the Apollo LED's to run with the RA, here's a summary of what I know from info Roberto got from Apollo, and info I got via email...
I was going to suggest Nanotuners / Nanocustoms.com. Sadly they had to close up shop in October of last year. They had great diy kits specifically for upgrading to leds in nanos and even hard to get spare parts for original equipment (like circuit boards for the fans, power modules, bulbs...
Well, might be some bad news now. I just checked tracking on the controller package and UPS says it just left CA @ 1:30 this morning and the "estimated delivery date" is 1/30/12 (monday after the meeting). Maybe I'll get lucky and it gets here before the meeting, but I'm not as optimistic now...
I was thinking the same thing Don. All I saw was beer, wine, pretzels, and finger munchies. You and I both said "some kind of food" but other then that it's going to be a bar scene at Jims! :p
Gonna talk to the wife today and figure out what we can bring as far as food. I was waiting to get an...
