    Question regarding LED lights

    Bummer Lorrie :-( I think Floyd has a knitting retreat today or something...

    Acro trouble

    Thanks Mike. I changed the carbon, only two weeks old, but what the heck. I am now 8 hours on the halides. I really don't think it is flow, two of the 1400s point right across the problem areas. I moved them a bit tonight to see if that will help. I FW dipped two of the corals tonight and poured...

    Need controller advice.

    It really is a luxury not a requirement and I get that it is expensive and not necessary. To clear a few things up though, you do not need Aquanotes for the Apex, that software is for older controllers. WXM is only needed if you don't have ethernet close by. You do not need to know how to...

    Acro trouble

    Thanks everyone! I'll get right on that floyd! The flow feels really more than sufficient in the affected areas. The Hydno would be the only coral that is not in direct flow though it has been happy and growing really fast until this. @ NaTe R: I keep the powerheads clean, so they move pretty...

    Need controller advice.

    I really hear you on the cost, it was far less than a grand though. For me, the value is in the ability to get messages warning me of a problem. It saved my tank once already when a heater ran away while I was at work. All said though, it was (for me) money well spent. -Todd

    Acro trouble

    Yeah, that is all that I can think of. I sort of hope that I can see something under the scope tonight. Not sure what else to think...

    Acro trouble

    Sorry Mike, I'll edit that, It has TWO 250HQI set 7 inches from the water :-) Two of the effected sps are perhaps 8 inches below waterline. Do you still think light? -Todd

    Acro trouble

    I have several acros and a hydnophora that are receding from the bottom up. The recession looks to be moving perhaps a mm or two per day currently. Not all of the sps are effected, and the effected coral are in various locations in the tank. Corals in my connected frag tank are not (yet) showing...

    Need controller advice.

    I can only speak to the Apex, and you can indeed do conditional statements like: If temp>80 then lights off

    Monthly Get togethers!

    I too could have folks over. We might be able to meet at red C if Rob wants to host again and show off the new stock...

    Having to move within the next month..

    Wow, great advice Scytale! I have bits and a press, but it is a bit of a drive for you :-)

    Blue jaw triggers have sharp teeth!!! :(

    Adam the photo journalist! Way to make the shot while under fire :-)

    Giant bristleworms spawning in my tank!?!?!

    Not that I am aware of, my puffer eats them, but he would only eat them after he snacked on the coral. I know some triggers will eat them, but again not so reef safe. I hope someone can offer useful advice :-)

    Question regarding LED lights

    Sure thing Lorrie :-)

    Question regarding LED lights

    Thanks for the kind words. It looks worse in person I promise :-) I will measure it when I get home. I think it is 16" tall to the bottom of the light surface. Floyd gave me that dimension and I don't remember. I made the "foot" to fit in the slot that you currently have so 2" by a little more...

    Question regarding LED lights

    Ready for pickup :-) I will be around the shop tomorrow if you are headed to B-ham. Well I know for sure that I will never be a machinist, but I had fun. I hope the lights that Floyd installs are really bright, that way people will not be able to see all my mistakes! [/IMG]
