    Bulb Combo

    Before anyone says anything, I have searched quite a bit about the different combos but everyone seems to run only ATI bulbs. I'm running 6 bulbs. Its a little overkill but couldn't beat the deal I got. I have 2 Red Sea Actinic (22k) that are only about 4 months old so those will stay...

    ATTN: Reefers in the Antelope Valley

    Dan's 125 "Re-Build"

    So I've had this 125T for almost 18 months now, and after the last HOB overflow mishap, got the "fix it or sell it" from the fianc. Thanks to some OT at work, was able to order my overflow and some gate valves. I will keep this updated as the project evolves. Current tank and sump shot...

    Options when drilling a tank.

    So, almost had to get rid of my tank this weekend, actually made it to the FS threads. Got approval to keep the tank if I drill and throw the HOB overflow into the trash. My question is about drilling for overflows. I like the redundancy of the Bean so will probably go that route. Tank is a...

    Drill or Lights?

    So the ever crazy life as a paramedic has afforded me a TON of overtime in the last few weeks. Even after setting aside $$$ towards the "wedding fund" I am going to "treat" my tank to an upgrade. I cant decide if I should drill the tank (bean style with exterior box) or 3x 165w evergrow "full...

    Feeler: WTT 60x18x24 for 60x24x24

    I have a 60L x 18D x 24T (not drilled) tank/stand/canopy and am setting this out as a "feeler" to see what is out there in the 60x24x24 and 72x24x24 size. Does not have to be drilled, open to glass/acrylic. Looking to trade tank/stand/canopy setups, maybe sump depending on the setup you have...

    80w or 54w for 60" tank?

    Im getting down to the planning/designing stages for my T5HO/LED hybrid build. Already have 2x80wT5HO, some Flea-bay LED strips (going to probably give away) and 2x 48" exotica (blue and blue/magenta, either sell dirt cheap or give away since I cant control them with the controller). The plan...

    Growing GSP

    Has anyone tried or had success growing GSP on either a piece of acrylic? I was thinking it might be kinda cool to cut some "different" shapes and what not to have it grow across the sandbed onto. Acrylic would be easier to cut than the tile, both initially and if I want to frag it later on.

    Acrylic Tubes in Plumbing?

    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...

    Calling on the DIY LED "Gurus"

    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...
