Local stores are: Ocean Gallery in North Plainfield, Pet Shanty in Scotch Plains, Red Sand in Dunellen, Aquatic Obsession in Avenel, and Underwater World in Roselle Park. As far as live rock goes, Absoulty Fish only had Real Reef artificial rock. Most stores are carrying this kind of rock and...

Awesome another local reefer! :D I'm over in Stirling. If ya need a hand give a shout.

LED Stunner strips are the only thing that comes to mind.

Ok, the fact he carries around a shell in the can with him to block the entrance to the can, blew me away! They are such smart creatures, this vid is up there with the coconut shell vid.

While it's nice that they are "plug and play", if I did go that option, it would be with a single driver. Reason being is that the LEDs all plug into one of two "boards" and the wires are not long enough to be plugged into one board and reach the other side of the heatsink. You wouldn't be able...

The DA ALC works with 0-10v input dimmable drivers. Apex works with PWM drivers.

Heat is the main reason I'm doing the switch on the Biocube. PCs get hot. LEDs running at 20-30% barely get warm.

My question for you is, how much control do you want over the lights? Do you want to just adjust the brightness (only need one driver) or be able to dial in the color temp (would require two drivers) like you can with the AI's? You are going to need dimmable driver(s) and unless you have, or...

The loss of nano tuners was a huge blow to the nano world. I really wanted to get one of their duo 700 driver enclosures for my Biocube. :( I still have to do my Biocube hood and install my heatsink and LEDs. I got my driver, heat sink and LEDs from RapidLED. They now have plug and play LEDs...

Frogfish FTW!

If I can talk the wife into letting me go, we might roll two deep.

Please discuss any meeting locations and make all plans for car pooling here in this thread. Don't forget to RSVP Here!

That is actually how I found the club. I was looking for someone local with saltwater experience while I was on my honeymoon for 2 weeks. My father in-law fed them, but I wanted to have a "Plan B" if something was to happen, I could call for reinforcements.

Did you flush the system or is this cloudy water the first time the system has been used?

That's a lot of pump! What size tank and how many (and what size overflow bulkheads) does it have?

If you cut down flow on #1 it will increase pressure to #6 & #7 and increase their flow. It really is a balancing act to get it all right. You need to watch and adjust #7 so you don't have more water going to the tank than the overflows can handle (= flood).

You got PM.

If it is your first canister that is empty. Throw a 5 micron sediment followed by a 1 micron then a .6 micron carbon block. Sediment filters are cheap and you can replace them often if needed depending on your source water.

Is there an echo in here??? :p ;)

The only thing that is "refillable" on a RO/DI system is the DI cartridge. Carbon is a solid block filter. Some people run dual sediment filters, some run dual carbon blocks and some run dual DI. Where is your "open space" in the series of filters? As long as you have a sediment, carbon block...
