    30" x 12" Cree,BridgeLux, and (2) Kessel 350's Custom Fixture

    Be careful with MH and LED's, Heat is a killer for LED's and MH put off a lot of heat. That is one reason why companies are not mixing the two.

    LED design help please?

    You have to have a driver for LEDs to keep the volts and watts . Make sure it is 700 mA and the volts match. Most LED's run between 3.2 and 3.6 volts at 700 mA. To run 4 LEDs you would need 12.8 Min to 14.4 volts Max. From what I have seen with a quick search the volts. To use the original...

    Return Pump Flow

    1100 pan world pump is way too much pump for that tank. The Pan World is a pressure pump and it will cause tons of flow, too much flow. I would recommend a Eheim 1262, or a Mag12. With the skimmer you have and the processing of those skimmer pumps you could go up to a Mag 18 or equal. I...

    what are some good monitoring systems?

    The Neptune Systems were never designed as a complete unit from start to finish. It was designed by taking this piece of equipment and making it work with that equipment. Then add other piece and make all three work together. Keep doing that and you have conflicts. The Apex was to solve all of...

    300gals Deep Dimension

    Dang if you do not have your tunze yet you might want to hold off and get the 6155 at the end of the year. I was just reading about them and they seem like the way to go.

    most of them have that now a days if they have net connection. If the unit only emails you can call your provider and ask them for the email address to text your phone. I know verizon is [email protected]

    what are some good monitoring systems?

    One of the Best would have to be Profilux but costly Reef Keeper is a good unit from what I hear Apex is dead last and avoid if you value your reef tank Do your research before you buy, not just ask which is the best. The best for me could be the worst for you. You get what you pay for.....

    Should I replace my T5s with LEDs?

    I would just read Katchupoy thread and ask questions when you do not understand it. Understand everything and build one yourself. I am sure if you get stuck or need help along the way someone will help you out. I had someone build mine for me. Just had to have LED party at my house a couple...

    Need more flow... tunze or vortech?

    I ordered a MP40 two weeks ago and I returned it. If I ran pulse mode too long it would heat up always a HUM coming from the dry side Needed to spend another $125.00 to connect it to Apex Only had 4 modes Loses programming if power lost unless you buy another battery for it, I believe another...

    Increasing O2

    It was not over! While we cleaned the tank last night we kept feeling something. My wife just had a manicure and she say it was very strong around her finger nails. She talk me into a quick manicure so I could feel it too. I think it was her head, of course i had humor her. I feel nothing when I...

    To drill or not to drill bottom for closed loop

    If you run the pipe down under the sand you never see them. If you do see them over time they will look just like rocks from the build up on them. I was one like this and I thought want a cool idea, it looked great.
