    Looking for 24 inch 4 bulb t5 fixture

    Way high, but it is the dimmable, and we all drive the prices.... Think I picked up the non-dimmer version, in 36", for $250 or something a few years back. The ebay seller I posted is OK, I've bought 2 units off him/her at different times with no problems. I have a 36" unit, no legs or hang kit...

    TDS

    Nope, nope, and nope. 0-1 tds then salt mix puts in everything you need. I had a few blooms and couldn't figure it out. Then realized I was filling occasionally from my home filtrations system (RODI). But, my home system has a mineral cartridge at the end, brought me up to 10tds, even though...

    Scammer on NJREEFERS

    Not an official moderation, as the transaction is between two private parties. A suggestion to defuse the upcoming bombs. MIke: Mejia is getting back into the hobby. Bought an item from a trusted member, verifying it was what he was buying, and got the wrong item. In recontacting you, not...

    par meter

    PARs aren't necessary with T5s, as they cover all the bases. LEDs are the ones that can use PAR info, but, usually if you have decent lights built to cover the area they're in, they should be fine. I used to go nuts with PAR readings, charts and everything, then fell into the habit of putting...

    Thanks for the reply, figured it was something holiday related but didn't realize you tried to amputate your thumb as well That initial shot in the ER is a zinger. Keep it clean and good luck on the healing.

    WTB chameleon/reptile cage (screen or hybrid) - Brick

    Diana. Wow! Sorry to make you do the work, but unfortunately I need a cage at least 4 feet tall and 2 feet square at the base. I do need a T5 setup, but might be able to use that 2 CFL bulb lamp. I can research and let you know. Thanks! Mark, Veileds are a bit too aggressive, and though we...

    WTB chameleon/reptile cage (screen or hybrid) - Brick

    Thanks Mark, appreciate the offer but I'm looking for a permanent start. Going to cycle a bioactive substrate for a month or two and stabilize before I ever pick up the cham.

    Full spectrum food advice

    Update. All went terribly. So, I mixed most of the items for a test run and ran them in the dehydrator for about 30 hours. The wet foods did not totally dry, which was expected. They achieved about 70% moisture loss, then I was going to freeze dry them the rest of the way in the freezer. But...

    Tank Needs HELP!

    Original post is from 10 years back. Can assume... Frustrated and decided to leave hobby, started selling stuff. About 8 months later, got back in, started rebuying a few things. Two years later, had frustration breakdown and swore off the hobby, storing stuff in garage and having a 'getting out...

    Not the same person as the tang person. No further discussion there, lets keep this on thread. :)

    Scammer on NJREEFERS

    Sorry this happened. I've never had a concern with any NJRC member, and if ever there was a problem, it was immediately compensated for. When you asked to verify it was a 600 and he replied positively, I'd accept that as well, as I consider this group a good and trustworthy crew. I may be...

    The great T5 question…what bulbs

    Gotta say two things. 1. BRS is incredible when it comes to shipping these things to avoid breakage, they make it an art. 2. This being the first time I'm running, from front to back, a B+B+P+B+, I doubt I'll ever use another combination, it rocks the tank. If I could fit 6 over it I'd add...

    Fragging Gsp

    Drop it in the tank for a week or two first and give it time to acclimate to your parameters. I've found trough experience that if you cut it up and glue it down it doesn't last too long. If you give it a few weeks to adapt before the cut and paste it tends to fare a boatload better. And, if...
