Full Version: Hypes 39 gallon LED Powered Cadlight
LOL!!
I heard that the glass cover is a PITA but I still wanna get one because I wanna get a purple firefish. It's good that it only covers the front and not the chambers leaving room to stick a skimmer in
I've heard a lot about their great customer service from reading forums. Eddie is very quick in answering my email questions too.
I was wondering if you knew how often you'd have to change the T5 lights

Thanks for posting the vid
Quite the comical fellow
Not that I am one to complain, but the topic description is somewhat misleading.
I leave slightly disappointed and unsatisfied.

Thanks alot im doing alot better now. I bought the leds from another reefer but you can buy them directly from reefgeek. Theres 24 leds in each fixture so total of 48. I totally recommend cad tanks. Theyre great and customer service is top notch.
The evaporation isnt that bad at all and i have the canopy on(prevent jawfish surfing) and the canopy doesnt cover the back chambers
If you get the ghl profilux light its only $300. The package i got not including the doser brand new would cost $552.
I wouldnt say its nescessary if you keep up with water changes but it definitely helps. But ive run a few tanks skimmerless for a while with no negative effects. Some corals actually prefer the water a bit "dirty"
Thanks lani

Between 12-18 months is recommended but from what ive read recently it may actually be even longer.
So i picked up some new additions this weekend. A helfrich firefish and an allens damsel. The allens damsel has to be the prettiest damsel ive ever seen and is the most peaceful of the damsels. He gets along great with the helfrich although my jawfish was pretty pissed about his arrival. They seem to be getting along better now
Well here a quick vid i took of them yesterday

the sound effects i edited in. It would be really cool if it did it on its own although it would get annoying since the thunderstorms are totally random(imagine a thunderstorm at 3 in the morning)

You nailed it buddy lol the tank is right next to my bed...
Yea when i first saw it i was really impressed and since its totally random its kind of cool to catch it in action.
That is awesome bro!!! Thanks for sharing!!!
Thanks for watching it 
Great tank, subscribed!
Thanks alot twan
So quick update i had to reaquascape the tank because of the allens damsel. Last weekend he decided to go psychotic and kill my helfrich firefish. So i decided to take him out of the tank. Now anyone whos dealt with a problem damsel knows they are pretty smart and very difficult to catch. So i basically had to remove all of the rock to catch him which forced an impromptu aquascape. I plan to change it once more but ill leave it as is for a month or so. So lesson learned....never buy a damsel(regardless of the species) they turn into jerks eventually
Heres the new scape

Glad you got him outta there, plus you will re'scape a million times.

Thanks alot dank.Yea i was pretty pissed conisdering how much those guys cost i may buy another but i just bought a way cooler replacement(details later) I like having the tank in my bedroom but i may have to move it into the living room. The random thunderstorms (sometimes at 3am) can be a little annoying..lol
Killed the HF?? 
That really stinks..... bad enough you were looking to sell it off and save the damsel.
Sowwy buddy.
Ah well, we live, learn and move forward.
Can't wait to see the new addition.

Thanks alot First much appreciated.
So i bought a used stevie t media basket.This one was actually designed for the red sea max but i needed something to use until stevie gets around to building mediabaskets for the 39 gallon cadlight. Theres carbon,chemipure elite,purigen, few pieces of live rock, and a couple of types of filter media.
Oboi...more Hype!

Lol yep. i just have to tape him eating... which is a little bit more tricky. But ill have it soon
I love him bro!!! Beautiful!!!
No freakin' way!! I'm so gonna gank that guy from you, lol!! That's awesome though!! I've been recommended one of those for my tank if I ever wanted to do an eel. How much do they cost though and what's the requirements etc...?
LOL...Not without a fight The cost around $200 or so. They dont really have any special requirements other than peaceful tankmates and plenty of hiding spaces as well as a tight fitting canopy.
