thewire Posted July 21, 2010 Author Share Posted July 21, 2010 New addition. I took the big boy occ clown out and I bought 2 black clownfish from a local breeder (Almon). One of them has normal bar and the other has a misbar. The misbar is on the front bar by the grill where it only go like a sideburn on both side either top or bottom are connected. They are still juv, about 7 months old according to breeder. i need to get rid of those cheato! I think i should move to thread to AIO tank instead lol Link to comment
joesmoe517 Posted May 3, 2011 Share Posted May 3, 2011 what was the purpose of polishing the heatsink? It's not really reflecting anything since the LED's are glued to it, unlike a bulb which sits off of its reflector base... unless of course you're thinking there is some back reflection from the water surface? Just curious as i didnt do this with mine and am wondering if i should have. Link to comment
evilc66 Posted May 3, 2011 Share Posted May 3, 2011 You don't have to. It can re-reflect some light back into the tank, but it can also help with thermal transfer. The difference is negligable. Link to comment
cjames Posted February 7, 2012 Share Posted February 7, 2012 Where did you end up getting the heatsink and what size was it? Link to comment
C4PZL0K Posted February 1, 2013 Share Posted February 1, 2013 Rapidleds makes a JBJ 12 heat sink. Just email them. Link to comment
