Or does anyone have a AI controller that I can test my lights with.

Anyone have one? Trying to found out if mine is dead. I'm using one to control 3 ai sols. Hoping that someone local will have one. Thanks

jakedoza, thanks for hosting the meeting! I look forward to see everyone again.

A few updated pictures on the new light rack. The Blue is running at 100% and the 12k is at 80%. What a huge difference over the Vertex Illumina. I should of brought the Vertex with me so we could of tested it of jakedoza tank.

Anyone interested in the light? I plan on bringing it with me to the meeting so y'all can see it in person.

Looks like crap though, I plan on building a shelf for the doser and doing some cleaning up. As for the light, I'm doing some testing with 100watt Ecoxotic Cannons today so the Vertex might be going.

Sale pending on the overflow.

Very nice. I wouldn't think you need the chiller running LED's.
Probably not, but I do live in Texas.

To start off I recently moved from Miami to Austin where I had a small SPS setup for about 7 years, now that I'm all settled in I figured it was time to setup something new. So being new to Austin we decided to rent for a while, we found a large townhouse which was great . The only problem is that the main living area is on the second floor. Wanting something large with deep dimensions I opt for the 93G (30" x 30" x 24") but really 28.5" x 28.5" x 24". So now how do I get a large sump under the tank? Well I started with a 20G high and ran with that for a few months. It became too difficult changing the skimmer cup and doing various other task under the tank, the inside height is only like 25". So just a few weeks ago I used my old 40 breeder and put it up next to the tank in IKEA cabinet.
The setup has be running now for about 5 months. Its lightly stocked with a few fish and GSP.
I started with BRS dry Pukani rock and live sand. The tank cycled for almost 3 months and I'm just starting to see coralline algae. I'm anxious to start putting some SPS frags in but I'm trying to take it slow.
System: 100Gallons Total
Tank: Marineland 93G RR
Lighting: Vertex Illumina 260 12"
Flow: 2 x Ecotech Marine MP40W
Skimmer: Vertex Alpha 170
Sump: 40 Breeder w/ Refugium and 10W 6K LED Flood (on 24/7)
Return pump: Eheim 1262
Kalk Reactor: MRC Small Nilson
Controller: Apex
GFO/Carbon: BRS Dual Reactor
Dosing pump: GHL Stand-alone Dosing Unit - 3 Pump
Chiller: JBJ 1/10HP
Heater: JBJ 300Watt
Also I'm using ESV Salt and will start dosing BRS recipe 1.
I'm new to LED and still a little skeptical using only a 12" fixture, but I made to rock work for it. Time will tell.

No the full package. Regardless you need a VDM to control the lights since it has a serial port.
