      Apparently, my Gmail account, which was the main one I used, was hacked and Google locked it. All fixed now. Still not sure why the other two accounts wouldn't load.

      My corals love them! I always swore I would never go LED, but I had to fall back on one when smoke got out of one of the halides. I am seeing some very nice growth under them. And you can't beat them for the price. I know folks who are running Sol's who have dumped them for the reefbreeders fixtures because they got better growth.

      I think I will try one over the frag tank I am building. Its 36x24 so it should work perfect.

      I'm running two over my 5' frag tank full of zoas and chalices. And they are crazy for it. Picking up two more next weekend for another tank, and I've already got a single for the new wrasse tank.

  12. Anyone got a backhoe I can use for 20 mins?

      FarmerTy

      Can we get a FTS? Full tub shot? At least you got an excuse for an upgrade now!

    1. jestep

      Radioshack, home depot, or lowes has them. The lowes shielded ones are some weird proprietary size though.

    2. Robb in Austin

      Robb in Austin

      Well, it's not me. I have a friend who was given a 135 but one end panel was cracked and covered. Told him the best fix would be to replace that end piece, reseal the whole thing.

  22. Anyone using a BML fuge light?

  23. Anyone using those Cree light bulbs? Thoughts?

      They're good. Turn on instantly and the color options are great. I have not used them on a dimmer but wouldn't even consider using CFL's again.

    3. Robb in Austin

      Robb in Austin

      Thanks. Did you get the 2700 or 5000K one?

    4. jestep

      jestep

      We did 5000K's, as we thought the 2700's were just too warm. I know the 2700 is closer to a normal incandescent if you prefer that color. Home depot had a demo display setup at one time, not sure if they still have them but there's a pretty big difference in color.

  24. Anyone want to come do a water change for me?

      Not mentioning any names, but I think one or two ARC people have dug a few holes in their lives, though usually in the middle of the night. ;)
