ok cool. thanks

thanks man, thats probably what im gonna do. and sorry, i forgot to update my info. i have a 55g FOWLR that im having the issue with.

so i set up a tank with an overflow box. its my first time dealing with an overflow box. i have a 24 gallon nano cube reef tank but dont have these issues. but i finally got a couple small fish in the tank yesterday and today my wife called me because she found one of the fish in the overflow...

Cool, I figured that but I wasn't sure. That's why I asked.

That was the first thing I did.... I'm not asking about a cycle for a New tank. But for one that was transferred and then running a couple weeks later. all the LR was kept in buckets with powerheads in them.

Nothin? lol

i got a 55g tank from someone. he had it well established before i got it. i set it up with the same stuff that was in it when he had it up and running. the only thing that is new is the bio-balls. they came from another person and they havent been used in a while. Its been running for over a...

What ever you do. Don't wiggle wires or mess with connections while they are plugged in. You don't want to blow anything

Yea I've been having issues with my potentiometers as well. Somethings they don't dim and are stuck on full light.

He's right. You stick those to a surface and then feed a zip tie through the hole on it and then tie it around the wires and they stay in place

Good stuff! Be sure to get a before and after pic of the tank. You will love it

I had power compacts before. And just keep in mind that I got alot of extras. I added the high noon kit and moon lights and I bought alot of extras to make the install look cleaner. I spent somewhere between 350-400 with all the extras. But you can get the basic stuff for around $250 for the...

bjb is the brand of the solderless conectors on reefledlights.com and i hear alot of good things about rapidled so ya looks like a good deal. its the same stuff i used, i just got it from a different site

Ah sweet. Yea I'd suggest the BJB solderless connecters. Where did you order this from?

Yea. It was definitely the right way to Go as far as LEDs go. I was originally going to just add some ProLumens strips in my hood. But to get the lighting I was wanting. It would have cost just as much as what I spent, and I have so much more now

Let me correct my above comment. The most expensive thing, OUTSIDE OF BUYING THE REEFLEDLIGHTS.COM KIT, was the wire, or project box. And those cost maybe $15 for both at radioshack. Anyways, I hope yours goes well

Hands down is worth it. And be sure to spend the little extra to get solderless Connecters. You'll save alot of time and headaches.

Well. Let's say I did not blow 7 LEDs, I spent about 360 give or take a little for odds and ends. The most expensive extras was either the rolls or wire, or the project box. I know you can get a nano tuners for a little more than that... But I have so much more than that kit. 4 different sets of...

After: ********* THESE ARE TAKEN WITH MY IPHONE, THE QUALITY SUCKS AND YOU CANT REALLY SEE HOW MUCH THE CORALS GLOW SO PLEASE KEEP THAT IN MIND, I WILL TAKE BETTER PICS WITH MY DSLR LATER ON WHEN I GET A CHANGE***********

Before:

Finished product All lights on at once.

All I can say is. This is one super clean looking fitment (minus the screws on top of the hood, but they don't look TOO bad, I can deal with it). All the wires are gonna be hidden under the stock wire panel. You open the hood and everything is hidden Feeding the wire harness into the hood I...

I made a trip to ace hardware with hood and heatsink in hand... Got a few weird looks and about 5 people asking me what I had.. I told one guy it's for growing special plants.... Lol Anyways. So I walked around the store trying to figure out how I could mount this heatsink without drilling into...
