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.
No problem I won't....darn thing has decided it like to get exercise on an almost daily basis, it moves around the tank. Good for getting a POTM picture but not good otherwise.
Thanks guys that was with the new macro lens on Nikon 3100D body. Only editing I did was cropped it slightly. Normal light and I don't think I used a flash.
I will give you some good news. Those are the same ballasts I had in my T5 fixture while I did have a couple go they always replaced them so they stood behind them and the customer service was excellent. Now you know why they didn't put big gobs of the compound on.
I like Giessman pure actinic, ATI Blue Plus, UVL Aquasun, and one of the purple bulbs ...with six I would do first two over again with 8 would repeat sequence.
I checked mine when I got home finally and thankfully mine are not crispy. I don't know if it is due to a change they made or the time I have had them. I wonder if it was a particular batch of LEDs that they used even?
