    So Im going to be at bridgewater raritan high school tomm

    My son made regional band. He is a hell of a french horn player. First practice is tomm 8-1. It's an hour ride. Either I'm going to sleep in my truck or find something to do. Any good fish stores in the area? Anyone wanna show off their tank? I'm not supposed to cheat and listen to the...

    Led issue.

    I was going to take pics but I had to have all my lights done and back up before the next day. What color is it? I bought extra leds. I'll fix it for you. I'm on vacation at the end of this coming week. Bring it over. Love to help out.

    Led issue.

    And for anyone thinking of doing this get your LEDs from reef breeder they have the led that if they burn there is a wire to maintain the proper current to the rest of the chain.

    Led issue.

    So lights are fixed. I will say this. I'm glad I pretested every led. One didn't work. And yes on these lights you burn all the leds on the channel if they go. So all the uv leds on my system have been changed. Not all UV put some more whites and blues in. Also swapped out one of my...

    Led issue.

    Paul thank you for your help. Your offer (hopefully) won't be needed but I'm keeping you as plan B. I was able to buy an apollo reef solarblaster 5k from a guy on Michigan reefs. 125 shipped and it was just refurbished. So this may turn into a how to thread. Once I get the new light I'll...

    Led issue.

    Anyone have a suggestion of a fixture I can buy that is like the solar blast? Want to keep the tank up and running while I try to diagnose the issue. And led experts pm me! Could use some help.

    Led issue.

    just tried to isolate one of the lights but wasnt getting what i wanted. The fixture has three power cords and two dimable ports that you use a straight through network cable to tie into the controller of your choice. Channel one covers the whites and channel two covers the RBs/UVs and...

    Led issue.

    I'm trying to find a way to isolate which fixture is the problem. I have rj45 connectors coming out of the controller. Then one spits into two lines. I've switched the channels but have the same issue. I'm thinking out loud here...if I discinnect all the lights from the chain and plug...

    Led issue.

    And the uv and blues are on the same channel. Blues are working fine so I'm guessing it's a Burt led disrupting the chain

    Led issue.

    Been doing my reading. It doesn't look too difficult to remove the case. Seems it's just the UV lights. I wish I had a spare fixture so I could pull them one at a time and test...hopefully it's just a bad led that screwed up the chain. Anyone have a apollo solorblast 5k they want to sell...

    Led issue.

    I have 5 apollo solor blast led units over my 300 gallon peninsula. 2 are older 3 newer. The 3 newer ones have the same pattern of 9 blue LEDs out The other older ones seem to have the same 4 dim but not completely out. Thinking it's the apollo controller. It's the second one I got...
