Kevin's 36 gallon tank

[54seaweed]

I'm also getting some frozen food from a guy off craigslist for $33

7 packs brine shrimp
3 packs baby brine shrimp
8 packs mysis shrimp
2 packs rotifers
2 packs and 1 full stick cyclops
2 packs h2o life coral mix
2 packs h2o life marine fusion fish and reef

that's a good deal if it's good

just be sure you check expiration dates

I bought a bunch off craigs list about 6 months ago

grant it only paid 20 bucks but thats not the point!!!

didn't realize till I got home was over a year out of date

and it was bad

better safe than sorry

[54seaweed]

what you use to bend the pipe so even

I was an electrician. I have a klein conduit bender (about $ 25 at most hardware stores) trick is measuring everything right. You have to compensate for the 5 inches it takes to make the bend just google how to bend emt conduit and it will explain everything or find a local electrician and give him the measurements and a few bucks and I'm sure he would bend it for you... I would of you were in my area

On a completely unrelated note... I love my job. How would you like to see this every day?

It is a 100watt evo

Says:
Ratio:460:450:14000k=15:10:25

ok I got my light.

Says:

If anyone can figure that out

15 diodes at 460nm peak wavelength
10 diodes at 450nm peak wavelength
25 diodes at 14000 kelvin temp.
Basically 1:1 actinic to white.
Probably 3 watt bulbs driven only to 2 watt to increase life.

 

[kwandrsn]

Ok well then it's a older model. The new evo 100 say they are 460,450,6500,red,green
There isn't any red or green

 

[kwandrsn]

The pics ain't great

moonlight

Blue all the way up whites off

Whites all the way up blues off

Both blues and whites all the way up

careful killer you don't want to bleach your coral lol
looks great mine will be here mon but not me
boohoo..... I'll be in surgery so I'll get a pict of mine as soon as I can

 

[kwandrsn]

Yeah I am keeping them turned down especially the whites. I just cranked them up to see what they will look like. I'm going to have to make some sort of cover to block the leds from blinding me while I'm laying in bed. Maybe drape a sheet over the hanging rack or something. To complicated to build a canopy for a bow front tank so that's probably out of the question.

Sucks you can't enjoy them Monday :-(

That is a beautiful photo you took at work! What is your profession again?

I'm a deckhand on a harbor tugboat

 

[kwandrsn]

Ok so I picked up 2 timers and another power strip. I've got the coralife digital power center which has 4 plugs that stay on all the time and 4 on timers 2 come on and the other two switch off and vice versa. Not very functional imo I wish you could control the 2 nighttime plugs. So I'm going to use analog dial timers for both my blues and whites figured I will have my blues run from 12pm-10pm and my whites 1pm-9pm

 

[kwandrsn]

This is how my war coral looks under the new lights

 

[apet66]

Looks amazing!!!

 

[kwandrsn]

Why thank you. I think I wanna try a dendro

 

[kwandrsn]

Wouldn't that just piss you off Tony?
That is if it done well. I will only try it if I can find a $20 frag

 

[kwandrsn]

I'm still waiting for my nuclear green palys to open up one head is on the edge it may be one I would part with
