Thanks Tim. . .

Awesome tank. I hope to see it real life on day!

In my many years as a reefer, I've never encountered this before. If you look closely it appears to be sliding off the head.

Apex is up and connected

Customer service here I come. Thanks Mike. Oh, did you call them directly.

It doesn’t find any networks wired or not.

I’m having a real hard time setting up my Apex to my network! I have search the internet until my eyes started bleeding. I have tried everything imaginable.

Any help wold be appreciated,

DAP

I''l give it a try, thanks.

Ok, now I know I don't understand electricity or how a multimeter works. I test the fixtures like you suggested. I didn't get any kind of reading I understood. I clean all the contacts with distilled water before checking the leads and LED's. We did  find a couple of loose ground wires. I also have several of these which are rusted badly. See images.

I would really appreciate it you could come to the house and take a look, of course when it convenient for you.

Thanks

I have a multimeter don't know how to use it. . . 

So how can I test the connections?

Me & electricity. . .🤣

I have a whole row of white leds not working (the 75 watt strip). Noticed the connector on the strip appeared to be stepped. Robin noticed some rust on some of the solder joints. Have about 4 other leds not working on the left side of the strip above it. 

Yes and yes. Still using the lights you built.

Tank is cycling. LEDS need a little work and your loaner tank is clean and ready.

Taking it real slow. this time around.

Has it been 8 years since we've left the hobby, to spend time with our family.

So sorry to hear about the loose of your Pearlberry colony. Now I wish I had taken the time to stop by and get a cutting of it. Then I could have returned the favor! So sorry to hear about the loose of your Pearlberry colony.

George,

I have seen tremendous growth, as well as color & color change. For instance our big red brain revealed its ture colors, orange & purple. I have also had some bleaching and lost some zoas, at first. I lost a huge colony of purple death but they are making a comeback. I have had them running since the first of the year.

Lighting up date I went from 500 watts of MH lighting & 108 watts of T-5 actinic lighting to 187 watts of LED's.

My temperature was 78-81 degrees a day under MH and today the tank very rarely reaches 78.5. My top off as dropped considerably too.

Here is what I used to have:

New LED set up:

The new lights, consists of four separate LED fixtures mount to which all are mount to an angled frame to get up light up underneath the rock ledges.

UV'S

All the LEDs:

I've received a lot of request to post my Photographing Your Reef:A Primer I use for the digital photography meeting we hold every January. It is several pages long so I have attached it here as a PDF. You will need Adobe Acrobat Reader to veiw the document.

Should you have any questions concerning the content please send me a PM.

This is not the bible but it is a good place to start.

Ok no PAR photo. Here are the casualties of the tank crash last year. Found them in the shed a couple of weeks ago.

Look for PAR reading soon. Thinking about converting to LED's.
