Hasn't been done yet. I need around $80 worth of stuff so we should have no problem hitting free shipping. I'm willing to host this, but I am leaving town for a few days at the end of next week so it would have to be delivered the 14th - 16th of next week or after the 21st.

Definitely not. We haven't even figured out when the GB is going to close yet

The latest I could do is the 14th or the 15th of next week, because I am leaving town on the 16th. LMK if this will work.

What if we shoot for delivery on the 11th? That looks like it might work best for everyone.

I just saw you're in Killeen. I more than likely won't be able to make it up there. Is anyone in the Austin area going to be able to pick up?

I need a few things. When is the gb going to start?

Don you missed me on the list. I was down for three buckets.

I'd like three coralife please. How dp we pay?

It depends on what's causing the necrosis. If you don't find the problem and fix it they will more than likely continue until their completely dead. In regards to the biocube they should be fine. Montis don't require as much light as other SPS. I successfully kept a red cap in a 12 nanocube for a long time. I believe the lighting configuration is the same between the two cubes. Just make sure your bulbs are good

Me too! Their awesome! I'll never run another tank without one.

I'd be happy to help with the coral, but probably not the fish. My tank is almost impossible to catch fish in because of the rockscape.

Well if you're going to PM everything to Don and Clint maybe you could include me in that list.

Aren't you running the MP40s in your solana? If so, I wouldn't think flow would be the problem. I know your Solana is packed. Is it possible you have a lot of detritus trapped in the LR?

Isn't it nice. I set mine up about 9 months ago and haven't touched a 5 gallon bucket since. Next step for me is to hard plumb a drain line and a return line so that everything is contained and water changes can be completely with the flip of a ball valve.

I would think it would work just fine as long as you don't put anything else in your tank

Sold!

Lol....well.....Who's gonna build mine if I am building everyone else's?

Thanks Brooks

Hmm...I think I may want to build one. Anyone interested in buying supplies together since we could build multiples out of the amount of supply we'll have to buy?

Thanks Jeremy. I do have one question though. I reduced my photo period with my MH in half due to the increase in light, but is that really necessary since the bulb wattage is the same?

Thanks for the compliments!

Price Reduction Bump......Would love to have this gone before the weekend $80 Also this will do quite a bit more than an AC Jr. so if you're thinking about picking one up you might think about this instead.

This is a very nice setup. I'd love to jump on it if I had the money.

Due to the deep dimensions of my tank I was not getting adequate lighting to the front or back of my tank and instead had a super bright spot right in the middle. I decided to build a new fixture that would utilize Lumenarc Minis to hopefully spread the light more towards the back and the front. I definitely didn't want a canopy that sat on top so I decided to build a hanging canopy. Specs: 2x250W Reeflux 12K MH driven by Lumatek Dimmable ballasts in two Lumenarc Minis 2x39W T5 ATI blue plus 2x39W T5 UV 454 All T5s are in Tek II reflectors and are driven by an Icecap 660 Thanks to Matt, Mhart032, we were able to wire in all the lighting and get it up and running this evening. I must say this thing is awesome! In fact it may be to bright. The wife is already making comments about needing sunglasses and a hat while sitting in the living room. I'll have to figure a way to remedy this, but for now we can all deal with it just fine. The light spreads perfectly across the water surface and there is not a dark spot in the entire tank. I am going to try and lower it down over time, but I don't currently run a chiller so I might have some heat issues if I go to low. Now for the only part anyone cares about.....Pictures! The first three pictures are of the tank with the old fixture. The rest are the new fixture and it running. Also, as always the pictures don't do this any justice.
