Definitely getting closer

I like the idea of a small cluster. I haven't shopped for LEDs in a year or two, and prices seem to have come down, so I'll probolly start looking for something like that if my next adjustment doesn't do the trick.

Thanks. It is still a little dark (good eyes). I agree: I think I'm going to move them in closer together this weekend.

Thanks JAR: That Deresa has been in the display for almost 4 years, and it's grown about 30%. I think it's going to out grow the tank in the next 4 years. I wanted to find a yellow Desedra, but have been happy with the iridescence this blue one puts out under the actinics. Thanks for the...

Okay: Just adjusted the led light fixtures this morning. New before and after photos below (unaltered). 2 x 175w Ushio 20k Mhs 1/25/13 Rapid LED Onyx Before Adjusting 1/26/13 Rapid LED Onyx After Adjusting. 1/28/13 Thanks to Vince at RapidLED for the...

It seemed like I was waiting a while until I rec'd an email saying Lindsey lives in the area and can drop them off.... I think on a four foot tank there's going to be terrific coverage. Tomorrow, I'm going to spend a little time dialing the location in a bit more to the center. I have to allow...

Thanks for the suggestion. I kept the IceCap fans in even though RapidLED suggested I remove them ("not necessary with the the built in fans Onyx has...") I will say though, that the power supply bricks for the those fixtures (in the cabinet) get pretty hot. Glad I had a cabinet fan close to...

Reef Date 1/26/2013 Wow: It's been a whole year since I've updated my Journal Page. Hard to believe that 2012 is just a memory. I was very lucky Screebo called me to see if I was going to the January 12th, 2013 lecture. It's been just as long that I have seen most of our fellow club...

I think I would like to try having the LEDs on that long too, and think I may have to wait a week or two for the the corals to acclimate to the new lighting first, as to avoid bleaching. While the LEDs are lower wattage, they seem way brighter then the 2 x 175 MHs at the edges. I think...

Thanks Jim, the feeling is mutual. Looking forward to seeing your display this year. I'm trying to figure out how long I want the main display lit with these LEDs. I have the LEDs set at 6 hours. From 10am-1pm, I am lighting with SVHO 2 x 110 & 1 54w T5 Super Blue. Then, when the LEDs go...

Jeremy-PLMKHICH :0) I'll be around :mail: . My tank just past 4 years now. Growing out has gone well and still have some spaces. Thanks for you help in the past too. Joel "Stability Promotes Success...."

Nice eye candy :love:

Maintenance Log 01/11/2011 - Replaced ReefLux 20k MHs with Ushio's 20ks. Already seeing a noticeable difference / improvement in coral tissue and polyps. - Reduced MHs from 7 hrs to 6hrs. (12-6) PG&E is cleaning us out. :Sp Corals looking fine, but will be keeping an eye on them.

Nice craftsmanship :star: Happy Holidays :santa:

Hi John, That reef tech link is great. Thank you for reading and for responding so quickly. I really appreciate it. :0)

Thank you Levi. I really appreciate the time you took to respond to my post. :0)

Yikes: I feel like I'm losing my mind over this Apex Lite purchase. A 115 page instruction guide. I'm having buyers remorse, and Neptune's support phone number has been ringing off the hook for the past several days. Needless to say I'm not happy. I thought this device is suppose to...

TY for your post. I spoke with someone at Neptune, prior to the purchase, and they say the have a port configuration change in the 2wire account preferences to make to make it work with a wireless router and 2Wire, so I'll be out looking for a wireless router.... They did indicate, like...

:love: New Apex Lite controller and pumps arrived, but the extra 8 pack energy bar is on back order, crossing my fingers that it arrives shortly.... Now, I'm just trying t figure out what water sensor I can connect to the I/O Bix box; and purchase the correct Bridge for that will work with...
