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.
Thats crazy.
Hopefully the guy gets caught.
Sick part was that he went around the house to look for more stuff! what an a-hole.
hopefully someone can recognize him and get caught.
I would go with the Photon 48, i believe those have the built in controller. The OR fixtures do not have the built in controller and will require manual dimming and be connected to timers or a controller like an apex to have them go off/on automatically.
Both fixtures are awesome and will do an...
lol the mother colony didn't even looked like it got touched! haha
trimming is such a pita sometimes, you think you have the perfect cut and then bam.. it's like shattering glass. haha

I like running my return on the low side too, usually just 3-5x the displays volume. I then just add powerheads in the display to kick up the flow on the display.
John, when I had my DB80 Frag tank running I only had a 300gph pump on there and that was also feeding the chiller! haha overflow...
I love Elos tanks and the small footprint of the overflows. I apologize for not having any input on the matter but I'm excited for this build. You did a fantastic job on the 45 build, I recall how everything was planned and very organized. Will be following along once you start your tale of the...
by next mid-week, again just testing waters. want to know if someone is interested before pulling the trigger on another skimmer.
I don't want to have 3 skimmers laying around lol!
