Heaters in the overflow should be fine. it’s out of the way. It’s easy for you to take out if need. The overflow are designed never torun dry so you always have water. most new heater will also turn off if they don’t sense water. you don’t need to add a clean up crew yet. And your refugium will...

You have to use a calculator depending on what your dosing. I use the BRS calculator...

When I moved I knew I was going to get a new tank. I looked at acrylic and a 6ft 180-220 tank was going to cost me a fortune. It was custom build it was $$$. after seeing a few used acrylic tanks and seeing the condition of the panels after a few years of use I decided that glass was a better...

So this is what I am talking about. the BRS doser has the same Ce rating Like the black boxes have. no one is say that this can catch on fire or dangerous. this a good example of a product that they make that’s a cheaper alternative to the $300 DOS system. so if some one wants to start dosing...

Most LFS run their freshwater tank using the waste water from RODi. i

I am using it right now and for a no frills light it’s working well. The par is better than any other black box that I have owned.

It’s not Apple to oranges. They are both leds and that’s what they want you to think. I am in sales and I pick up on a lot of things that most people don’t. I am always looking for what they don’t say. What they do say and what they don’t mention. They are selling and BRS is for profit. So they...

I have personally seen almost all the light test BRS has done. They have followed a format. They test every light the same. This is the only time I have ever seen them move away from that format We can watch that video in a zoom meeting and I can break it down for you lol

lol that’s funny I think peanut butter might cause them to start a fire !!

actually I don’t think they did a fair comparison. The 1st thing they did was not test ocean revive one of the top black box lights. 2) they set the lights at 24” that’s too high. They have never put lights at 24” from the tank. Nobody will install those lights that high. 3) usually when BRS...

I also have kessil lights over my main display. They are good lights. The problem is that People feel that the only way to grow corals is to pay for high price lights and that not true. You can have success with $100 lights or 1,000 lights. The same way you can drive to work in 100k car or 3k...

This is one of the things I believe is very wrong about this hobby. most electronics we buy don’t have UL listed logo. i think they just don’t get it. People can’t spend 3k lighting a tank. they need to provided a lower price economy light. Kessil and ecotech have no interest In providing a...

Plumbing is actually easier than you think. I know it’s a little cliche “ measure twice and cut once” get one of those pvc cutters and it will make everything easy.

Well I have to say they didn’t due any justice to the black boxes. They took the lights apart. They have never ever taken apart any other light. They also Didn’t show any of the par numbers. usually they also compare the spectrum to t5 They didn’t test the ocean revive which is one of the best...

The relassy has a knob on top for white and blue. It also has a uv channel.

I have had a few black boxes. I set them up temporary when I moved and I was surprised at the par I was getting. my go to box at the moment is this one Relassy. It doesn’t have a timer but the spectrum and spread on a frag tank is great. Relassy Aquarium Led Light 800W, Dimmable Coral Reef...

I use to put my heaters in the over flow chamber. Standing up one on each over flow. This also makes sure all water comes In contact. You can also on some heaters keep some of it out side the sump. you 100% need a heater controller. The inkbird at amazon is not expensive and it’s worth Avery...

Looks really nice. Good luck with the new build.

I will have to see if I am available. I am a realtor so the weekend are tough.

If you guys want. You can pay for the stream and then share it on zoom. That way more people can attend
