      They all just got back there from SXSW, so I'm sure they won't want to come back until at least ACL

      How long is the job and how much are you paying? It's been 22 years but camera work shouldn't have changes too much.

  14. tank is pending sale!

      Awesome! Someone's getting a good deal

  15. 90g RR tank, stand, canopy, stand skin, sump, $600. Pics tomorrow! I'll even throw in sand and a pair of koralias.

  16. we're on the same page. The issue with that tank was something in the bigger system. We thought the water was too clean, then we went through all the chemistry and found nothing wrong. We starting looking at diseases and we thought it was a Vibrio infection which we treated for and got no result. It had everything to do with the whole tank/system, nothing with the LEDs
  17. That'd be me. Everything is running along fine under LEDs. Coral growth hasn't slowed. Color is as good, if not better, no heat issues. Thats good to hear. Your Mr Saltwater TV led experiment talked me down from my LED purchase but you did say the tank was very sterile and new. I might try it again but the lack of spread of the current models is also a big minus for my size tank. I can run 750w of mh with my large lumenbright but if I can get away with ~500w of LEDs... that would be even better. Not even going to mention the sticker shock. Actually what we thought was the issue was that the tank was too clean. Never said the tank was new...it was 6+ yrs old. I'm always amused at the difference between what I say and what people think they hear. I was very specific several times in that video that the LEDs had nothing to do with it.
  18. 233g here I come!
