    I plan on coming unless there's just no way to escape work,. Tim was a great guy, and will be sorely missed.

    Big Momma Clown hid my Rainbow Agave plug. Lost 6 polyps if I can't find where she put it.

    Phoenix 14k bulbs only MH w/ Actinics @ 50% + UV

    Not really. They have been going for 18mo with no driver issues. Its the same place in the fixture where the original PC ballasts were. I do have a set of computer fans that I put on top of the fixture to draw heat from the center areas.

    Light fixture fixed and updated. 2 x 250w MH, 10x10w 454nm Actinics and 8x3w 410nm UV LED!

      Nice! I'm also liking my LED and MH combo more than T5 as supplement.

    Small update. Since we went with no-name cheap LEDs from China, I had had to replace a few panels over the past 18 months. I think the first 2 panels went out after 8 months or so, but since I bought extra ($4/ea) it was a 5min job to re-do. A couple more panels went out right before this past Christmas and I just left the actinics off for a while. I was contemplating re-doing everything with CREE LED's, but just didn't get around to it. Last month one output of my Dual MH ballast stopped working so I had this guy off the tank for a while. I finally found two MH ballasts that I liked and while we were re-wiring those I went ahead and replaced the other actinic panels that were bad. Again, 3 more panels at $4/ea. I acquired some UV LEDs from Jeremy a little while back and bought another driver, so we installed those today as well. Pretty sure they are 3w UV Violet @ 410-420nm. Put in 8 of those on their own driver/switch. We also installed some tiny fans blowing over the heatsinks to help cool. I'm not sure what caused the previous LED panels to fail, might as well help cool down the new ones. No pics of the fixture turned on, since actinic shots are already near impossible, UV shots are even worse. I'll take some FTS when the MH are scheduled back on.

    One of the outputs on my Dual ballast is going bad. Opened it up to see if its something I can figure out, and the whole thing is black epoxy coated inside. YAY

    I had a bottle of ozarka sitting by my monitor when I signed up. I'll stick with it. Should be easy to spot at meetings, as I usually also always have a bottle with me. HYDRATE!
