so i finally got my real camera out, tripod, remote, 80-200 VR2 lens... the works.... and took about 800 shots. I have to say, working w/ models is so much easier than flighty fish that wont stay still. That being said. I'm gonna play with the forum's new gallery feature once i get all the good shots out, and make some gifs! I;m not one for much post-processing, so hopefully sooner rather than later eh?

In the garage, wont hear it *lol*

looks clean, nice!

large one is 800w 6.6Amp small one is 300w, 2.5Amp... using calculator anyways... apparently my PCA power brick plus power to the eb8 itself is solid at 1amp (on the graph) small heater only makes it jump to 2.8 (so 1.8) large heater only it jumps to 6.3 (so 5.2) both it went up to 8.6 (so 7.5) it looks like the eb8 is calculating on a 10-15sec avg. and as anything, it has a startup peak and levels off after. So i can say 9ish is my realistic peak w/ these *lol*

Both my backup heaters failed today... the relays i have just cant handle the amp's the heaters pull. I dug out by backup EB8 I picked up couple years ago. Now I can sleep well. I put my everclear PCA pump on it as well... I have extra plugs now. This EB8 isnt on the UPS, the main EB8 is. so cant really move much onto this one and the fallback's mean squat! [ C-Dose_7_5 ] ( 7_5 ) Fallback OFF Set ON If RefuLo CLOSED Then OFF If SumpLo CLOSED Then OFF [ SmHeat_7_7 ] ( 7_7 ) Fallback OFF Set OFF If Temp < 78.0 Then ON If RefuLo CLOSED Then OFF If SumpLo CLOSED Then OFF [ LgHeat_7_8 ] ( 7_8 ) Fallback OFF Set OFF If Temp < 77.9 Then ON If RefuLo CLOSED Then OFF If SumpLo CLOSED Then OFF

i really liked him... he had very unique scarring from surviving an angel fight last year... almost looked like dimples. problem I have now is... i cant really add anything else because of the 3 angels, the maroon clown and skunk clown. its literally like a coldwar standoff in there.

uuuuggghhhh.... so when the outside temp gets under 40-45ish, my backup heater has to kick in and help. well, lastnight it didnt: outdoor temp: And i slept through the annoying "flashpoint" alarm (flashpoint was a cop show filmed in canada, eh, and their "new call" siren was kinda annoying). Sailfin tang did NOT like this, was floating stuck to the overflow. RIP sailfin. (now you can see why i make my own graphs, more detailed!)

I started a thread for my neighbor, so we dont piggyback mine anymore http://www.austinreefclub.com/topic/38107-divekams-175g-rebuild/

you forgot "believe me" a couple times in there

same spot you typed your reply in.

go big or go home!

DI resin is actually a mixture of two DI resins. One is a cation, one is an anion. Only one of these normally carries the dye. When the dye runs out, its not 100% exhausted, use your TDS meter for verification. This "how to recharge" link has a ton more details... http://www.reefkeeping.com/issues/2008-09/nftt/index.php
