Reefkid88 Posted October 19, 2014 Author Share Posted October 19, 2014 Its a superman digi,its one of only a few of my sps that're actually fu*king doing anything or that has survived. Quote Link to comment
Angel<3Nanos Posted October 19, 2014 Share Posted October 19, 2014 That thing is sweet. How much was it? Quote Link to comment
nismo_sky32 Posted October 19, 2014 Share Posted October 19, 2014 I've been out of the loop for a little. Sweet new frags! You still thinking about sumping this? Quote Link to comment
Reefkid88 Posted October 19, 2014 Author Share Posted October 19, 2014 Don't worry you haven't missed anything man lol. Honestly,no. I haven't really done much with the tank besides basic water changes. I've kinda been putting some effort into researching about re-doing my light. Contacting a few websites about T5 fixtures. Other than that,I'm just waiting for CoralCon to get here to hopefully pick up a few sick frags to help me regain some interest for the tank again,it's kinda slipped away from me over the past few weeks..

Angel<3Nanos Posted October 19, 2014 Share Posted October 19, 2014 What are you trying to do with t5s? Quote Link to comment
Reefkid88 Posted October 19, 2014 Author Share Posted October 19, 2014 Do a retro for my 7 gallon. I may just end up getting a 2 24" single bulb sunblaze fixtures to mount on each side of my light I already have to run on sunrise and sunset. probably go with Blue+ (x2). 1 Quote Link to comment

They are extremely easy to retrofit. I actually pulled apart a 24"zoomed this week. Was super easy. I retro fitted a friend's reef breeders. He made a wood housing and I did the electrical.

Reefkid88 Posted October 19, 2014 Author Share Posted October 19, 2014 I've actually owned one of those before,when I first started reef tanks. The sockets absolutely suck ass. I can get 2 Sunblaze single bulb fixtures for $20 each,which isn't bad. Quote Link to comment
Angel<3Nanos Posted October 19, 2014 Share Posted October 19, 2014 Lol the zoomed was free. Can't beat that! Lol so far it's working great. We swap the reflectors for ATIs tho. Quote Link to comment
Reefkid88 Posted October 20, 2014 Author Share Posted October 20, 2014 Well then yeah,you can't beat that deal lol. Got any pics of it ? Quote Link to comment
Angel<3Nanos Posted October 20, 2014 Share Posted October 20, 2014 Well then yeah,you can't beat that deal lol. Got any pics of it ?I only have some of the t5s outside of the case. I'll tell him to snap some for me. Quote Link to comment
Reefkid88 Posted October 20, 2014 Author Share Posted October 20, 2014 I'd you don't mind,that'd be awesome. I Think I'm going to lean towards a Hamilton Aruba Sun Retro fixture,it's already got weak leds running down the middle,so I can take those out and get a tubular Heatsink from StevesLED's and run my leds down the middle in place of those cheaper ones. Less hassle of tearing apart a fixture and hacking it up. The retro would cost me: Fixture-$105 2x ATI Blue+ : $40 8-10 SemiLED Royal Blues,4 SemiLED 430nm Violets,8 SemiLED Neutral Whites & 20" Tubular Heatsink- $56 shipped Total-$220 -/+ Shipped which isn't bad Quote Link to comment
Reefkid88 Posted October 21, 2014 Author Share Posted October 21, 2014 I have came to the assumption,that my RTN is really STN. My Lime in the Sky Acro,is succumbing to it,and some pieces arent loosing tissue per say,but the tissue is really rough looking and dark,with minimal polyp extension in those area's. While my Joe The Coral,and Red Planet,Super Man Digi are fine.. I super stumped on whats going on. I honestly haven't tested,so maybe Alk is really high still,idk. I can't say I'll be super pissed if I loss my sps,although I don't want to but if I do,it'll be less I have to worry about sucks to say lol. Quote Link to comment
Angel<3Nanos Posted October 21, 2014 Share Posted October 21, 2014 Dang man :/ Send them to me Quote Link to comment
Reefkid88 Posted October 21, 2014 Author Share Posted October 21, 2014 Eh,its probably too late they've been aired out for about and hour now lol. Quote Link to comment
Reefkid88 Posted October 21, 2014 Author Share Posted October 21, 2014 Its all good,you win some,you lose some. Hopefully I'll have enough space cleared out for CoralCon stuff this weekend. I've saved up a little bit of funds,plus I get paid again friday,so I'm hoping I have about $100-$120 to spend at the show. Quote Link to comment
