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.
Agree...your coverage area is a bit more limited but otherwise no problem, just make sure your SPS are directly under the fixture not out on the edges(front or back)as the par will decrease as you move out from under the fixture.
Waiting to see how many folks are coming, will supply the grilling items, and ice. Figured to keep it simple generally speaking. Thanks for the offer.
GO MEAT!! ;D
I see the bigger problem is the one that Paul has with the two RK...fluctuation in temp is the problem, in particular if your Reef Computer is monitoring and adjusting the temp. I keep one cheapo thermometer and my AC Jr in the tank all the time. I had one of those garbage digital thermometers...
I don't know what kind of paint you can use. I have to say the fact that my sump came with solid nontransparent baffles is a bonus you don't get algae growing in the other chambers. Cheato is the way to go.
I answered some in your tank thread about the mud and light.
Hawk makes good point there is no set way. I admit I love my fuge and wouldn't do it any other way, same cannot totally be said for my DT ::). Not that I don't love my DT but there are some things I would have done slightly...
I started with mud 20lb, sand thin layer, rubble, and cheato.
Mud for me is a ? that I don't think there is an absolute answer for. It works for me. :)
I have 1 mangrove now for fun so came in handy.
+1 for the cheap clipon light. I like a plan grow bulb. If you go for florescent look for a bulb...
I have a couple layers of pond liner under mine to cut down on vibration....this might help you. Mag12 I don't have any issues with mine have always had the liner there though.
I agree should be the most volume but there are two problems noise and starting. If for a small volume of air I get a quieter/easier starting pump I will stick with the PPW.
