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.
Phil, don’t know the fish, but I did put a pair of blue throat triggers into a tank that already had two yellow tangs and a hippo. There was never any issue with the triggers and tangs.
George, very nice and detailed summary. I’m impressed with Apollo. I’ve got the dimless version, and these things push out the light.
As far as your mounting them, that stud end you have is a metric 6 – 1.0 thread. So you could use that stud with a nut to bolt it up some how. With my...
Thanks CFM, I read that post and a couple more that gave me a scare about new LEDs bleaching out your corals when not slowly acclimated. So I quickly made this contraption to raise the lights up about 30 ½ inches above the waterline to begin the process.
Thanks Jim!
This morning I added in the IceCap LED moonlights.
Next is to straighten out the bird’s nest of wires and split them up to four timing spots on the ReefKeeper.
I’m wondering how many hours I should have these on in acclimating the corals. Anyone have an opinion or...
Rich, bring that meter down!
That is an orange cap in the middle of the tank. It has always grown down. :confused: I thought that was normal until one day, when a fellow reefer was over, he questioned me on how I got the cap to grow down. I shrugged my shoulders and gave him my best...
Here is the European pricing (and conversion to US dollars):
250 mls - 29.90 euros (US dollar $38.62**)
500 mls - 49.90 euros (US dollars $64.45**)
1000 mls - 89.00 euros (US dollars $114.94**)
**1.00 U.S. Dollar = 0.7743 Euro
HERE’s were I got the pricing.
George, I just went Apollo as well. I have the older style non controllable units, and I can tell you that it’s not an all blue on and separate all white. Half the lights come on with one switch, and the other half come on with the other switch. Now one of the switches is all blue. The...
New Apollo LED Lights
Well, I’ve finally bit the bullet and went LED.
I purchased a lightly used Apollo 20K, 120W from a member. This wouldn’t be enough for my five foot, 90 gallon tank, so I emailed Joe at Apollo. With their constant “improvements,” this fixture was no longer available...
Glass Holes Overflow Maintenance
I noticed the water level of my tank had risen, wetting the wood supports for my lights. In addition, there was a slight gurgling noise coming from my overflow.
I turned off the pumps and raised the lights and took a close look at the overflow. Coralline had...
Lets see….three o’clock in the afternoon….must still be at work….and today you dodged a bullet….and you are abusing your employer by spending time on the NJRC website!
WHAT’S WRONG WITH YOU….GET OFF THE COMPUTER AND GET BACK TO WORK, OR YOU’LL BE THE NEXT ONE TAKING A BULLET! :grin:
Ultimate Reefs was originally called Reef to Reptiles. Since he is no longer caring reptiles, Greg changed the name to Ultimate Reefs. It’s located across the street from Tropiquarium:
1105 Rt. 35
Ocean NJ 07712
732-695-6006
And then he ordered another one from Apollo to cover his entire tank!
It's on its way as we speak.
And he needs to sell his four new ATI bulbs to pay for the new fixtures!
