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.
I like your “go slow” approach. That’s a sign of success in this hobby.
Don’t know if you’ve seen it, but here is the standard stand frame that many use. I’ve used this on my 90 gallon DT. With a four foot 75 gallon, all boards can be 2 x 4’s. Once built, you can skin it in...
I would think that if you wanted SPS on a 75, you’d be better off with a six bulb T5 unit.
However, I’d go LED. I switched from T5's to LEDs. If you’re budget conscious, check out Reefbeeders. They sell very nice LEDs at reasonable costs.
Also relies that if you go T5 route, you’re...
I have two JBJ 28 hoods for sale….an HQI hood and a Quad CF hood
HQI hood
The HQI is a 150 W HQI with what I believe are two actinic CF bulbs. All bulbs work, but uncertain of the age:
The top of the hood has a slight deformity which I believe is from it overheating….it can be seen...
The heat is here! I’m selling a Nano Arctica Titanium Chiller, 1/20 horsepower (model DBI-038). This was originally on the JBJ28 when the HQI light was being used. It was purchased for $290. Comes with the chiller, about five feet of ½ tubing on each of the outlets, and the owner’s manual...
I too went through the cost comparison conundrum when I considered LEDs for a JBJ 28. I decided to build my own canopy that would fit a “Chinese” fixture. I went with a Reefbreeders 120 W fixture and am very happy. HERE’s the DIY for building the canopy.
I would suggest a Glass-Holes overflow kit....that includes the drill bit. You'll be happy. With a 75 you could go with a 700 gph or 1500 gph kit....either one would work. I have the 1500 on my 90 gallon tank.
I too am sorry to see this. Jose is one of the good ones!
It was a definite pleasure working with you, Kevin and Edwin, building Edwin’s stand. Your daughter was a little princess.
If you decide to get back in, let me know, and I throw you some stuff.
Stay well friend!
The starfish is Asterina.....generally speaking they are reef safe. There is a variety that can be troublesome. I have found that the white to light tan are fine. The more color, the greater the likelihood that they are a problem. I have a tank filled with them.
This is a spanking brand new, never seen water, Aqua FX “The Barracuda” RO/DI unit that is rated at 50gpd. I took it out of the box to simply take the picture. I won this at the swap from Champion Lighting and actually don’t need it. I still can’t figure why I put a ticket in the bucket...
