Thanks for the reviews guys, right now I'm slightly broke so basic timers will have to do at the moment. When I get the funding, I will probably just get a full apex I think. Eventually when I have my big tank ill need it so might as well.

Took the optics off and the spread is much better. All,deoends on the application but on such a shallow tank they really weren't necessary

If you have a hospital tank you can treat with I believe melafix for open physical wounds to the fish but better would be to try and find iut why he ended up there

Not aware of much you can do for physical injuries, but if it was stuck to your powerhead it probably wasn't doing very well to start. Generally speaking only weakened and ill fish get sucked into powerheads. Does he have any open wounds or any visible issues aside from the breathing ( which Is...

Most sumps ive seen insidea bc29 stand were custom madefrom acrylic. You can see if custom king on manhattanreefs has any or put out a feeler for anyone else that may make them. Nano-reef has a better chsnce of one popping up used also

I actually got the idea from someone who did what you did, retroed ai sols into a mh/t5 fixture lol. Thanks for the tip with the uvs. I might have to order a few more of them or throw some royals in the strand to meet the minimum for a meanwell (which I think is 8) if I take out the reds, so...

Certain drivers (the kind i used spoecifically are eln-60-48D) need an external 0-10v power adapter to control the dimming of the lights. You can do this through hooking them up to a wallwart manual dimmer or a 10v power supply and a potentiometer. Using a controller with a specific module such...

Only thing i have ever really fed bloodworms to was butterfly fish. the looooove bloodworms

That and the minuscule particles that slip through the net when you rinse are perfect food for SPS corals and other water-column feeders as well. Ive never rinsed frozen food, just because of how much you lose when you do it, rather than just a fish food it serves as a fish and coral food.

Leafy greens such as romaine are good to feel tangs as well. Might take a little for them to get used to recognizing as a food source but they are a good source of nutrition for all tangs

Holy Carp, I think I'll stick to my hot tub!

How do you like the apex jr. I'm pretty sure I'm going to pick one up at some point. Between that and the reefkeeper lite

If someone is seriously interested and want to discuss something like this, please PM me and ill shoot you my phone number or email. I would be happy to assist anyone who wants to take on a project like this, as far as building for someone, there are a lot of details to discuss. It is a clean...

Haha im still trying to get it all down pat, figure out what my exact cost on something like this would be retail wise and for all the extra costs you dont think about (solder, tips, connectors, wiring, etc) but im only working part time right now so its a possibility if the interest is there.

Thanks Jose, I'd have no problem doing it again, just figuring out what I wanted to do and where I wanted to put things was the hard/time consuming part. The actual work was quite easy and enjoyable for me. I'm going to go back In and rry to get the stupid uv's to work, if I can get in touch...

Finished shots, on the tank. Whites at 40% blues at 70% T5 off T5 on Im pretty sure om going to take the optics off when I get a chance, creates too much of a spotlight on the two larger rocks, and leaves a gap in the middle on the bridge. More than enough power to run them without the...

Looks great! wish i could build sumps lol. Coming along well! Sorry if i missed it, but what are your lighting plans? that is a rather massive canopy :P

Thanks Mike, All that is left is to cut the acrylic shield and throw the legs on, ill have some shots over the tank tomorrow. Going to set it up on the aquacontroller for timing etc, and figure out what T5 bulbs i want to run. im pretty set on a KZ fiji pink but im not sure what to do with the...

Controller wired up, fans wired up, t5s wired and ready to go. But I only have 3 outlets in my garage lol so here's the leds first And the t5s now. Since it got late and I don't want to wake the neighborhood, ill cut the acrylic sheild for the fixture tomorrow morning and mount the...

The rapid led UV leds do not want to work for some reason. I purchased these brand new from rapid. I have them in a series with the reds, and when I connect power to them, the reds light but the uvs don't. Unless they are invisible lol Aside from that everything is working very well. I am...
