    By the way the rails are aluminum L stock. Inch and a half and an 1/8 gage We used the stock bolt on the top of the light by oversizing the hole that were drilled. Allowed the mount to sit flush and give enough thread exposure to ensure secure tightening

    So I pulled the trigger on Apollo LEDs. They have a 6 month no interest pay period using PayPal. So I got 3 lights and their controller. Sweeeet! Can't wait to get them. Found a sleek design using L aluminum stock and tube for main supports.

    Free to good home....Orange Spot Rabbit Fish

    Thanks for the fish. Also thanks for the Apollo tip. I ordered 3 of their top configurations with controller. Best part was that I got 6 months of payments without interest! Made the wife happy!

    I run about 180 gal total water volume. I split my brs gfo and carbon reactor into 2 separate units. I called the brs tech support guys and they said if I had a newer reactor it was the same as the biopellet reactor that they sell. I looked at the pics of both and figured it was so. That's...

    It holds the water. The spray bar stops the back flow much earlier. Leaves approx 6-7 gallons of room in the sump. I'll check out your thread jgraz :)

    So the spray bar is in. It distributed the flow so I can run the mag 24 wide open. I have a valve for it. Since I don't have pressure problems I can keep both ball valves on my manifold off. I'm planning to run bio pellets off one and the other will be either carbon or more pellets...

    Ok. My back hurts. I'm exhausted. But the tank is drilled. Fish and inverts back in. No real order to rock. Just get all back in and get em safe. The mag 24 is kicking ***. Flow is fast and strong. Going to valve it though cause I have to keep my manifold wide open to keep pressure in...
