      I had a Jacksons for a long time until he finally died of old age. Do you keep them anymore?

      I do not. At one time I probably had over 100 then I worked for a rescue in LA where we would periodically get confiscations of 100-300

      Maybe one day I will get another one :P

      I'm surprised it doesn't happen more often. That's why I never wanted to run several hundred watts of MH's in combo with chiller. I don't want anyone mistaking my coral growing for something else.

    I swear honey, it started as a QT tank, it just went through a little Reef Evolution...

    When I started this hobby, I had no idea my desk would start looking like a chemistry lab...

    Anyone want a gorilla crab? Found this little guy in one of our tanks.. Not sure where he came from, as the tank started totally dry with dry rock.

    Tragic, and irritating.. Came back to work for the first time in a week, only to find a AA battery in my pico tank. Wiped out all inverts, LPS and Fish are ok, but allmy softies are dead including GSP

      Im not sure to be honest. Whatever it is, its definitely a soft coral killer, but had zero effect on my hard corals... isnt it supposed to be the other way around?

      Guess I'll take the opportunity to build ym zoa garden after all. :(

  13. esacjack

    oops, left my lights on all night.. had them set to manual mode apparently... Angry paly's this morning...

  14. esacjack

    I find it hilarious that most of kessils promo videos are filmed in 'hydroponics stores'. And are demonstrated by 'growing tomato plants'

    1. victoly

      victoly

      i love smoking tomatos

  15. esacjack

    Does anyone have a moment to talk about LED optics? I'm trying to determine which optics to get for a 12"x10" area at 12" deep..

      How high above the tank is the fixture going to be?

    2. esacjack

      esacjack

    ugh... some of my paly's are browning out, and I cant figure out why.. i have them under the 15k Kessil A150W, Some at the sandbed, some in a mid tank frag rack...

    1. (Bio)³

      (Bio)³

      check all parameters? how long have they been in this tank under that light?

  18. esacjack

    Ok, which one of you went to Aquatek in a cab, and then rolled out 50 gallons worth of RO water?

      I always wondered how their corals were.

      @niko they have fantastic corals and prices. They just need to get away from myspace as a shopping cart :/

      Lol. Myspace. Really. Going to have to check it out.

    A certain LED MFG just accidentally told me about one of their new products. I'm freaking stoked! But have been sworn to secrecy...

      so BMLED fixed their lack of 10v off dim?

    3. SChrisEV

      SChrisEV

      No, control. :)

    4. Timfish

      Timfish

      Since BMLED is using the lighting industry standards for dimming control and they are marketing thier products to others besides aquarists I doubt they are going to change.

    thanks mike!

    just noticed the ARC logo/icon on my browser is no longer showing (the small icon on the tabs). It appears to be showing the default ip board logo.

      jestep i think youre onto something, thats exactly what I seelcted on checkout. And I've never used that option before... go me for screwing it up! :D I called DFS this morning and cancelled the order. I'll just wait till I get the REEFund to buy the kit again. I too am surprised that liveaquaria orders arrive here without problem, yet DFS falls short... what gives?

    3. jestep

      jestep

      Yeah. It's a really bad service. I have very low expectations with free shipping, but I would gladly pay to avoid using that mess. DFS is usually very good with refunds and customer service, so I think it will work out, someday...

      I will never order an item that a company tries to do the fedex/usps combo. If they dont let me pay more for a solid UPS or fedex package I go elsewhere.
