lakshwadeep Posted July 21, 2009 Share Posted July 21, 2009 Nice reflector! I think many MH people forget they can also increase their lights' efficiency like that of T5s. Link to comment
Ando Posted July 21, 2009 Author Share Posted July 21, 2009 Thanks! I'm pretty excited about the new lighting. I hope to get it up in a week or two. Just waiting on the ballast. I hope to see my corals color up better too. and I hope I won't need a chiller! Link to comment

I was asking about the price on the RODI system. I can't wait for a RODI.I am tired of the jugs to the LFS. How much RODI water does it make in 1 hour.I know it has to do with each houses water pressure.Do you hook it to the garden hose? Brad Link to comment
Ando Posted July 22, 2009 Author Share Posted July 22, 2009 yep I hook to a garden hose I get prob only about three gallons an hour. But our pressure is not much. Link to comment

Ando Posted August 5, 2009 Author Share Posted August 5, 2009 I have not updated in a while... Got tons to update pics coming later with the new light! Check back tonight Link to comment
Ando Posted August 6, 2009 Author Share Posted August 6, 2009 Well, I finally got my 250 Watt 20K radium MH working! Wow is this thing bright!! Question?- I was working on my tank under the new light last night for about 20 min, and when I walked away into the kitchen I was feeling very loopy almost like a drank some beer or something... Is this from the radiation from the bulbs? I dont have a glass cover over the reflector yet.. Here are some pics. It's hard to take pics bc the light is so blue.. and it's 18 inches above my tank right now and I will slowly move it down. Link to comment
Kraylen Posted August 6, 2009 Share Posted August 6, 2009 Dude you got too much cash! Tank looks great man! Link to comment
Ando Posted August 6, 2009 Author Share Posted August 6, 2009 haha! I wish I had too much cash! Thanks. Most of the coral you see in there I just received from a good friend of mine. He wanted to take down his tank so he gave me most of his coral! Which consisted of 4 acans some rics and zoos, and that big elegance and brain coral. Link to comment
MedRed Posted August 6, 2009 Share Posted August 6, 2009 The Smurf Village is born! I thought those were moonlight pics and I was scrolling to see the new fixture pics... had to go back and read before I realized those are the new fixture pics... lol Link to comment
Ando Posted August 7, 2009 Author Share Posted August 7, 2009 haha! I can't get a good pic of the tank. It looks so blue in the pick but in real life it's perfect I think. Also got a RBTA today... Not sure if I'm going to keep it or not.. I'm just holding it for my friend bc his tank went to crap... So I may buy it. not sure? Link to comment

Not sure if I'm going to keep it or not.. I'm just holding it for my friend bc his tank went to crap... So I may buy it. not sure? I figured as much. I really want a RBTA...They get too big for my tank :-( I have a LFS that has some beautiful specimens. If only the stupid things would stay small. Link to comment
Ando Posted August 7, 2009 Author Share Posted August 7, 2009 ya the one I got from my friend is about the size of a quarter. So i figure he will be good for a while. I also put the RBTA on a piece of rock that is about 4x4 that way if it does get big I can easily remove the rock. I will post pics of the RBTA tomorrow when the lights are on. Link to comment
