  1. I have a friend with a 72X20X26deep tank he wants to make into a fresh water fish and plant tank. He wants to do LED lights and I told him I did not think he needed the high dollar radions :)

    What led's would work well for plants and fish on a tank that size and he is not a diy type so just wants to buy premade.

  2. Looks ok to me.

    The best bet is to let let it run a few months and see if crud builds up anywhere and then adjust them so it clears that area too. You may not be able to without more pumps or just learn where the dead spots are and move the rocks a bit or just clean it out regularly.

  3. _______ Lx W X H

    I have 8 15X12X8 white food grade polyetholeane tanks $15 each +shipping or we can arange a meeting. At RCA

    For $5 more I can add a threaded fitting anywhere on the tank.

    I will be using 4 of them as dripp tanks for kalk,alk,mag,vinager.

  4. the probe may be getting old or could just spike sometimes and if you have a voltage change it can cause the probe to read wrong too. and all it takes is a 1 sec spike for it to send the email.

    I had a stray voltage in my light fixture that was causing the apex to "shut down" to keep from frying it would come right back on but to get net access back I had to unplug the thing from the wall to get a hard reset. Using the reset on the head unit would not work.

    I would try unpluging it for 30 sec aand see if that helps .

  5. I hope you have better luck with the dual chamber brs media unit. I have had one for a while now and its a clogorama :(

    I run there gfo in the first and have used alot of diffent kinds of carbon in the other and after a few days the flow starts to slow down

    then the carbon side gets a rusty brown/orange film in it and even with a okld MJ1200 at max flow nothing will go thu and I have to clean it all.

    I thought at one point it was the gfo braking up from to much flow but even at the point of it hardly moving the film develops. If I had it to do over again I would get seperate reactors.

    But I would like to hear how it goes maby its just me .

    I will probly end up getting another single and just leaving the second chamber empty.

  6. Mine are all mounted in the garage a foot or so above the sump with the headunit velcroed to the door of my canopy lid. but I also have holes drilled thru the wall into the garage so most of my wires cant be seen when I have my glass doors closed. Makes a good place to hide all my audio video stuff for my entertainment system too.

    You also want to make sure to have drip loops on all the cords so water can't travel down them and nuke your apex.

  7. I have had the mystery wrasse for over a year now and purchased from a fellow reefer, He has been a model citizen. Is about 3 1/2 ish inches long. And currently in a tupper ware container with holes in it floating in my sump. I cought him an hour or so ago and would like to find him a new home.

    $100 obo willing to meet at rca on Friday or Sat or can try and work out something.

    I dont have a picture but he is in good shape fat and happy no damaged fins.

    ok how about 80

  8. It don't mater what you buy now ;) in 6 months after you get the feel for it your going to change your mind on about everything anyways so get cheep and used stuff where ever you can. Watch the forsale sec for t-5 or metal halie lights that will fit your tank.. Home Depot is your friend :)

  9. Im not sure on the tap water but would recomend a good flick of the probe after the clean water rinse to get rid of most of it before putting it in the 7 or 10 regent. But again if it reads both regents correct or within the probes +- then it is set right.
