What would be needed to make this work? Is this plug and play? All I would need to make this work is a mount? I may have to jump on this for a future build.
So I have been really itching to start up my 120 which is probably going to be a slow process since I need to rehome the current fish to my sons tank once his last fish croaks. (Evil Mbuna) So in the meantime I figured I would mock up a control board that will fit under the cabinet and swing out...
I just did the same thing with a 5 gallon tank that I drilled to add an extra refugium. Tank was only 20.00 and it worked out perfect. Just need to be careful glass is very thin.
I have been searching high and low for my Hydras. There are several on R2R in the 2 to 230 range. I just picked one up for 215. These lights are great lights. You can def find. I sent out several private messages when I was looking. I had many people respond saying they still have them. If your...
I’ll tell you what these are way more powerful than my 3 Primes. I had to decrease %’s substantially because when I first hooked lights to see how it looked my par went from 160 mid tank with Primes to 306. So ended up lowering percentages and putting into acclimation mode
I started at 12” but lowered to 11” right now and I will see how that works. Issue with 12” was the leds were visible while I was staring at tank. Now all I see are the cases. Guess if I was a little taller that wouldn’t be an issue. Lol
So I decided to add 2 hydras over my tank and went with the TV Mount idea that I improvised to add 2 Hydra 26 lights on aluminum tubing that I painted. Used some aluminum spacers to drop lights off of tubing to make room for fan shrouds. Overall I’m happy with the outcome. What do you think l...
I see about 3 on there. Pay close attention. If you can remove rock I would and do a thorough cleansing of the rock.
(Muriatic acid) or if your ok with it just keep a close eye on tank and kill whenever you see one. Like ado says peppermint shrimp will work too
Personally I would remove all silicone on bottom and upright corners just for piece of mind. Since he would be doing the bottom it’s just another step to cut out the 4 corners. Now you have new silicone around complete tank. Like you told him new silicone WILL NOT stick to old silicone and...
Either way as long as you tape off and smooth out you can really make it look nice. All comes down to personal preference. I did a reseal with clear Ge silicone and it turned yellow on me guess that scared me from using clear ever again. I do believe they sell this in clear though if that’s what...
