Matteo Posted May 2, 2016 Share Posted May 2, 2016 ohhhh I know these! You should simply remove a single t5 bulb in the middle and just screw these in. Or if you have adhesive you trust.... Quote Link to comment
HarryPotter Posted May 2, 2016 Author Share Posted May 2, 2016 ohhhh I know these! You should simply remove a single t5 bulb in the middle and just screw these in. Or if you have adhesive you trust.... Can one just remove a bulb? Doesn't that mess with the ballasts? Quote Link to comment
Matteo Posted May 2, 2016 Share Posted May 2, 2016 Can one just remove a bulb? Doesn't that mess with the ballasts? oooooh, I am not sure. I wouldn't think so. I am googling now Quote Link to comment
Matteo Posted May 2, 2016 Share Posted May 2, 2016 you could also mount to the front of fixture and angle back? Quote Link to comment
HarryPotter Posted May 2, 2016 Author Share Posted May 2, 2016 time for this .. Naa I want 6 T5s AND 8 NanoBox pucks 1 Quote Link to comment
Matteo Posted May 2, 2016 Share Posted May 2, 2016 so far I am reading you can rewire the ballast if needed. Not sure if needed yet... Quote Link to comment

ManGups Posted May 2, 2016 Share Posted May 2, 2016 Naa I want 6 T5s AND 8 NanoBox pucks What the quote from Dave on that ? Quote Link to comment
HarryPotter Posted May 2, 2016 Author Share Posted May 2, 2016 What the quote from Dave on that ? Didn't ask I have a quote on adding 6 pucks to my unit... Thinking about cost vs reward on that. 1 Quote Link to comment
Matteo Posted May 2, 2016 Share Posted May 2, 2016 That's what I want to do, it's just hard to figure out that DIY bracket. 3d printer yo Quote Link to comment
HarryPotter Posted May 2, 2016 Author Share Posted May 2, 2016 3d printer yo Even with 3D printing man, probably have to drill the ATI fixture. That's fine I guess but also why I haven't installed the bar yet 1 Quote Link to comment
Matteo Posted May 2, 2016 Share Posted May 2, 2016 got this from another forum I just receive my buildmyled strip. I 3d printed these hanging brackets. I don't have time yet, but I think I will redo so they mount with double face tape to the side of the ATI fixture, instead of hanging with cable. Even with 3D printing man, probably have to drill the ATI fixture. That's fine I guess but also why I haven't installed the bar yet Drilling can be scary but if done right will not be a big deal Quote Link to comment

Matteo Posted May 2, 2016 Share Posted May 2, 2016 If they are clean I do not think it will hurt THAT much. Especially if it means someone can mount LEDS to it. Quote Link to comment

patback Posted May 2, 2016 Share Posted May 2, 2016 Lmao. I am a stickler about frags in the sand bed but my tank Is covered in film algae right now to the point of not being able to see my own frags in my sanded. How are those rare raft frags you got from your dad's friend? 1 Quote Link to comment

How are those rare raft frags you got from your dad's friend? My glass gets covered pretty quick too, but sand bed stays clean. Weird. The RR stubs are doing well but are not nearly as nice as my cheap $10 frags haha. Also they look nothing like the pictures you see online of course! 1 Quote Link to comment
vlangel Posted May 2, 2016 Share Posted May 2, 2016 You are getting very nice color Harry. Things look like they are coming along just as they should, which is always a good thing! Quote Link to comment
HarryPotter Posted May 3, 2016 Author Share Posted May 3, 2016 Great things are happening recently! The tank is just in a pretty cool phase with all corals seemingly happy Red as death Tenius Mushroom Anemone is huge, a centerpiece I wish my the green on my grafted cap would get darker.. Too much light? 6 Quote Link to comment
