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.
I finally finished the 5 LED modules... Took about 9 months, though obviously in fits and starts. All the LEDs have carclo wide ripple optics.
So that is 24x Cree XPG warm white, 60x XPE cool white, 60x XPE royal blue, 2x AI Sol Blue, 2x 4' magenta and blue stunner strips.
So, about 600w...
15 gallons of Reef Crystals is $3.85. You'd have to live literally right next to the water (in which case, I hate you, *I*
want a beach house!) or take 50-100 gallons at a time just to break even on gas. If I had a beach house, I'd have a permanent pipe out in the sea. It'd be awesome.
In terms of pretty, Reef Angel is not... Apex tries to be the Apple to RA's Linux... But they both have warts. Both will do what you're asking, they are both very capable. Apex ends up possibly looking nicer (cable-wise) because it daisy chains, an it also has a separate display, so you can...
You should probably set your budget expectations a bit higher though. $2-300 won't get you much. Don't get the junior/lite version, that's a false economy, you should get the full version. $500 but will meet your needs, and grow.
For next north meeting, do we not have meetings at retail locations anymore? I remember having a few north meetings at sponsor stores before, after-hours. They were fun.
