Want to tag team this with Jose and get things rolling. First thing is to determine what everybody would be comfortable with spending on a frag to enter? Keep in mind, there will be a cost tied to the coral, meaning not all of this amount will go to the pot, so we want the budget to be...

Jose, what do you need help with? I’m happy to lend a hand. Shoot me a PM.

Having multiple filter socks is really the only practical way. I have 14 as well last, swap them every 1/2 weeks As for washing I use the sink hose to blast all the crap out of them and then rinse on a hot cycle 2/3 times. No detergent no bleach either. As long as I blast them when I swap them...

14, and I remember a day long ago complaining about having to plug in 4-5 things. I have not done it yet but plan to build battery back-up for the return and heater and possibly the Nero. My goal would be to keep mission critical pieces online for a 6-8 hr period in case of a power outage...

I’m in! I think the $20-$50 range would work good.

I’ve used Tropic Marin All-for-reef now for about 2 years. Works well in lower demand Nano tanks and love that I only need one dosing head. However I know it can be costly on larger systems. I spread my dosinf evenly through a 24hr period starting at 12 AM next dose at 6, 12PM, 6PM. Alk is...

Thought I’d bump this one more time before the weekend. Any LA / OC / IE people heading out to Denver for Reefstock this weekend? Snow on the forecast for Sunday so bring your warm clothes.

I wasn't going to go until I saw the vendor list, thanks for posting a link. Looks like a awesome line-up this show and even some forum members. No VIP options this time for Friday evening?

Yeah if there is anything I really like I will probably have to inquire about shipping.

You just carry them on, no checking them.

March 5th - 6th but not hiring anyone :p

At that point I’d just fly my lady out for the show. Lol

Bummer! I am looking forward to it looks like a good show.

Anyone from Los Angeles / OC plan on making the trip to attend Reef Stock in Denver? I will be in Denver for work and plan to go Saturday. Curious if anyone is flying in so I could potentially send any livestock purchases home with them as I will in Albuquerque the week following the show.

Bummer Ed! Hope you find your way back into the hobby at some point. If you want to sell off livestock in the frag tanks let me know. Feel free to text me

Got it pretty much wrapped up over the weekend except need to decide on a bulb combo. Parts List: 2 X120mm x 25mm (there are thinner ones if your fixture has tolerance between the reflector and housing)I went with these. Noctua NF-P12 redux-1700 PWM...

I will post the full build over the weekend. I used a hole saw 4.5" for the 120 MM fans, harbor freight one at that and it worked fairly well.

I have the original two piece reflector that I buffed out as best as possible but, may eventually go with some new ones. I was not to sure on fitment if it is a universal type of thing or if they are fixture specific?

Thanks for the input, I also am by no means a lighting expert lol. More following those that have done this mod in the past. There are two goals in mind one cooling the "cold spot" on the bulbs themselves hence one fan blowing down at the bulbs on the one side. This is supposed to extend life...

You’re right, two is always better than one. Thanks again for the fixture by the way!
