I sent off an email to ePlasics but figured I would ask here also. Has anyone used colored/transparent tubes in their plumbing? Anyone know if (for example) 1" PVC fitting would work with 1"OD tubes? The sump gets little/no light, so having transparent tubes 1)would look kinda cool and 2)would...

A lot crammed under my 125... diy 65g sump/fuge. Want to build a different one though

Unfortunately don't have one for you. But if you want to go DIY, check craigslist and even the GoodWill. I scored my 60g from the GoodWill for $20, spent another $30 on custom cut glass and silicon. I will keep an eye out for one though

Power supply question. I know that it is capable of WAY more than I am going to be running, but should I go with 500w? Says it can run 10 LDDs @ 1000mA or 14 LDDs @700mA. Is it a good idea to run less than max with the power supply just like the LEDs themselves? I'm looking at a total of 8-10...

Thanks guys, looks like I am going back to the drawing board... Anyone heard of/used the Typhoon Storm controller(s)? Looking at the Storm X due to 16 Vs 6 Control points with the Storm.... What is the going opinion of Teal/Turquoise Leds on reefs? More just for the looks? I had a ATI Lagoon as...

I had a yoga mat under my 125 at my old place, I was renting and it had tile floor. Used a razor and cut it flush with the stand after it was all set up.

Sounds like it will be better if I drop the WW strips (#3 and 6) and switch the CW for WW on #9. It would be 10WW and 0CW. That would put me at a 4.8:1 ratio, plus the 5 Violet. I guess you would count those in the "blue" spectrum so that would be 5.3:1 plus 2 80w T5. What T5 bulbs are you...

Thanks for all the info already. I hadn't thought about the T5 washing out the blue. Might just ditch the WW strings all together...

I have heard the only bad thing with ReefBreeders is the ETA to your door (seems to only be with group buys though). Other than that, lots of good things. I'm not a fan of u channel either, I live in the desert and don't need anymore heat than we get... Multiple heatsinks? I think it would be...

So I am starting to price/piece together a Custom LED/T5HO setup. I am looking for insight, input, and/or ideas with what I have come up with. I have looked through numerous LED builds on various forums and decided the best input would be to post my build idea. Tank is a 125 Tall, 60x18x24...

dimensions on tank/stand?

I know this is a little late from the date posted, but try some of the glass companies down that way. They do have a "California Compliant" version of Weldon 4 that I was able to pick up here in the Antelope Valley (north edge of LA County). If you still need it and have any chance of being up...

20Wx60Lx24D if I remember right

I dont remember if its a Sylvania or Osram, its on the back of my hood. Both have 1 and 2 bulb balasts though. Im running 2xT5 and 3 DIY LED strips (12000k, Actinic, and Actinic/Red Mix) but want to find a way to squeeze 1 or 2 more T5 in there.

If you want to run them seperate, there are a few balasts out there online that will run 1 or 2 80w bulbs, thats what im running on my T5/LED combo. Little cheaper than the CoralVue if $$ is an issue, and allows more time options. Unfortunatly there arent any local options up here in the AV for...

Picked up some polyps from the LFS that I couldnt pass up. $30 for 45 heads, already have more popping up. They just had then listed as polyps... The second its a small frag from a 8"x12" rock covered in these i got in a trade from my brother in law, he had a fish picking at them.

Nice work, gave me some better ideas on how to build the LED/T5 combo that I want to build for my 135.
