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.
so after reading about their dimmable model they are saying the coverage is 32" per unit which means I might be able to get away with 3 or 4. Is anyone on here using one of these?
I wish the appollos didn't have so many power cords for each unit. I would potentially need 6 of them over my tank which equals 18 cords.....that's a mess in the making.

I was thinking the skimmer might not be cutting it. I will be selling an SRO 1000-INT in about 2 months once I move everything over to my new tank. Its about 14 months old and it has the neck cleaner kit on it too. Not sure what your time frame is but send me a pm if you might be interested.
I think you need to figure out what's causing the elevated nitrate levels before increasing the vinegar. something has turned into a nitrate factory.in system. are you using sponges, bio balls or anything else that could promote nitrates? I saw your post for the light and how much ha is in...
I keep on reminding them about how heavy the tank is, the size of it and that it has to go in the basement. They keep telling me to relax and not watch while they are doing it.
I got in touch with the movers that Trop uses and have hired them to do it. The tank will be delivered to their docks in Eatontown and then they will deliver it to me.
looks great rich!!! What kind of paint did you use on the tank and did you do anything special to prep the glass? I will have to paint my tank when it arrives.
its being built by Atlas Custom Tank's in Canada. They just started marketing in the US and I found them thru Tim at Aquatics Elite. Their prices are very good and they are one of the only builders that offers a piece euro brace. There's three partners and 2 of the three have been building...
Stand is in place
Stand is in place and ready to go. I don't have a firm delivery date yet but I am hoping that it will be Friday so I will have all weekend to stare at it!!!! I'm already feeling bad for the movers and the pain they will be in after carrying this beast down the stairs...
thats what I am thinking....there would be an even greater savings on the lights if I took the refund and bought 6 radions. Question is would 6 be enough on a 72x36x28? From what I am seeing it should be, would just need to come up with a way to mount them all on one bracket.
Good news and bad news
The good news is the tank is on its way over the border from Canada and should be here Wed or Thurs next week :congratulatory:. Now for the bad....the light fixture I was having custom made by Sfiligoi has run into some problems. I was informed today that the supplier...
thanks qwik! the brace was one of the things that sold me on this tank. I wont be able to see it but from a structural integrity standpoint it definitely adds a lot more support than the traditional style eurobraces. Right now I feel like a kid at christmas counting the days until arrival.
