    LEDs to replace halides?

    Does anyone know what LEDs the Do-It-Yourselfers are using?

    Pacific Sun LED group buy

    If they don't make a native application (it sounds like they don't) then you can't run it on a mac without also having Windows installed on it, either directly or through a program called Parallels.

    LEDs to replace halides?

    Thanks for all the responses. You've opened my eyes to some options I didn't see before. I'm certain I want LED lighting now! Ah, and I've started a group buy thread in the Barrier Reef forum...

    Pacific Sun LED group buy

    Cy mentioned in my thread the possibility of a group buy for the Pacific Sun LED fixtures. I'm not sure I'd be able to afford it, but I'd like to get the ball going and find out!

    "luminosity" and "luminous flux"

    Nobody :( Neither of our Googling has led us to a answer. It seems some LEDs list one spec, some list another. But we aren't sure if they are the same...

    LEDs to replace halides?

    I most recently found reference to a company that makes a bulb that plugs into a mogul base and replaces a 250w halide, but the website they linked to is down :( I've read alot about setups that are supposed to work, but I've never heard anything resembling a review, just the marketing stuff....

    LEDs to replace halides?

    I've been all excited about LED lighting, but it occured to me I haven't really asked the question: Can I replace my 2x 250w Halides with LEDs? I know people are using LEDs for color, or for moonlights. On a tank that houses just fish I can see them being a excellent light source, or on a much...

    "luminosity" and "luminous flux"

    Whats the difference? I have a friend who designs electronics for a living. He thinks he can whip me up a pretty bad ass LED system for not much money. But we're trying to pick the right spectrum of LED (they are surprisingly available in reef-type spectrums) And btw, if he succeeds in...

    Killing unwanted pests (mojitos, Antapseseseses)

    I used to use Joes Juice. I used it when I worked at a LFS with great sucess, and I've used it at home. I've never seen any ill effects from it, but I'd be weary of using it in a smaller tank, and it will kill whatever you spray it on, so don't spray it to close to your coral :)

    Growing coral upsidedown

    I believe it will not really right itself, but that it will start to grow back up.... I'm eager to see pictures again in 3 or 6 months though. Cool project ;)

    Do Part A and Part B expire?

    Wow- talk about excellent customer service- I emailed Warner Marine at 10:23PM Pacific, and recieved a human response at 10:26PM "Hello Chris, The Vitamin/Hufa is the only one that doesn't have a long shelf life. About 6 months is it... the other products are inorganic and have an indefinite...

    Do Part A and Part B expire?

    I hope my title wasn't too cryptic... Any ideas?

    Do Part A and Part B expire?

    Talking about Warner Marine Calmax A and B... I have looked all over these bottles, and see nothing that looks like either a manufacture date or a expiration date. They aren't that old, but they have sat awhile. Just wondering if I should use them or not. I'm leaning towards "if it hasn't...

    keeping some crabs from Puget Sound alive?

    Thats the goal. She won't have the oportunity to do so untill next weekend. As best I could find the sound is slightly less salty than the rest of the ocean, so I gave her some of my water from my reef and added a little fresh to make it about 1.019-1.020 and loaned her a 5 gallon tank with...

    keeping some crabs from Puget Sound alive?

    Yeah, but there is no tank to put them in to start with. They aren't in any water to acclimate. I'm pretty much going to have to toss them in, so I want to get it as right as possible...

    keeping some crabs from Puget Sound alive?

    My sister just called, her friend brought back some shells from Whidby Island, and didn't know some had crabs in them. She'd like to try and save them. I have some salt, but all I can find out is that the sound ranges from 20-27 0/00. I have no idea what that means. Can anyone tell me the...

    Is there a Tropic Marin Pro Reef Group Buy?

    So how many buckets did you need to make a group buy anyway? Me and Laura need a bucket soon like, and might be able to spring for two. I see you were considering cancleing the group buy, but you didn't say "it is cancled" so I may as well ask ;)

    HQI vs. Mogul

    Current tank is a 75, but we picked up a 110 yesterday. Not sure what we will use both for. Right now, I'd like to put both 250 ballasts on my 75. Since I'll be re-wiring anyway, and I'd be buying two 250 bulbs anyway, I didn't know what was better....

    HQI vs. Mogul

    Assuming same wattages, say 250s, is there a advantage to one or the other? Does it just come down to bulb choice? I have a pair of Mogul pendants in my hood now, currently running a pair of 175s. But, I just aquired a pair of nice HQI pendants (I like better) and a pair of Icecap 250s. So I...

    Caring for my big sponge tree

    Summary- How much light? What to feed? How? How often? How much flow? Should I give him to someone else? I have a large orange sponge. Looks a little like a orange tree sponge from pics online, but it's more slender. I've had it awhile, and I don't think I'm caring for it right. The last...
