I have one question about LEDs. Mind you I am not getting new lights just curious. I have seen two basic designs; one is where the lights are all in a row and one in which the are arranged in a circle with 4 circles per fixture. Is there any difference between them? I am not referring to brand.
I was at 40ml daily but Nitrates jumped back up; Nitrates were lower at 20ml daily. I went on RC and spoke with Randy Holmes who suggested I drop the dosage down and increase my GFO. This weekend I will swap out my GFO. I think a more efficient skimmer would make a world of difference so am...
Very nice. I have had similar experience with my softies and zoas. A devil hand coral would not extend any polyps and after dosing vinegar it looks great. Same with some other unknown leather. Even my zoas are brighter and open more/

Very much better. Love the look of the blue plus.
My family likes that light blue tint to the water. They tell me it looks more like the blue ocean water you see on TV...LOL
I will probably put the cover back once I make a final decision on what bulbs I want. Plus don't want salt creep on the bulbs.
Now that I know how to get the cover off should be easier next time. I still think it could have been designed better.
I knew there are a few threads on this but didn't want to hi-jack someones thread. My fixture has built in controllers 1st controller is for bulbs 1 and 3, 2nd is 2 and 4. I placed the blue plus at positions 1 and 4, 14k at 2nd and purple plus at 3rd. The tank really pops like this. But I wanted...
Customer Service reply:
Hello Mark,
We are afraid you misunderstood the question. The SolarXtreme lighting system launched in early 2010 and have since undergone numerous revisions to further improve the product. Among these was an improvement to the hinge assembly to prevent the lens from...
AJ,
I took out so many screws it was crazy. The back two screws were the problem as the glass would not swing down. No clue why the last two screws would not come out or why the glass would not swing open. This is my second issue with this fixture and will never buy it again. Deep Blue was...
I must say that the Customer Service is very responsive. They replied in less than 2 hours and told me to take all 4 screws out. I did this and the glass cover came right out. I tried to get the back screws out earlier but they would only go half way. I had to press gently on the glass cover to...
This light has a terrible design. In order to change the bulbs you have to remove the legs to and then two other screws, one on each side. The glass cover should drop down on a hinge. I did all this and the cover won't move. I scratched the crap out of it trying to pry it open. This unit is junk...
