wljimbo Posted September 24, 2009 Author Share Posted September 24, 2009 Dude that angler is the BOMB. Where did you get him? shhhhh It’s a secret lucid corals I found this place awhile back and IMO they’re 1 of the very best online vendors out there! I can’t say enough about them high quality livestock, outstanding costumer service & amazing prices! Always willing to put together a packaged deal or special order anything I need! – I highly recommend them and I’m sure if you mention the contest they’ll hook you up! pic taken by Zach @ Lucid corals...

wljimbo Posted September 28, 2009 Author Share Posted September 28, 2009 Thanks-guys! Sorry I've been absent for a few days! I had a family emergency this weekend and almost lost my brand new nephew! So until things settle down a bit I’m not going to be able to mess w/ the tank to much. Link to comment
hayseed777 Posted September 30, 2009 Share Posted September 30, 2009 Damn, dude...hope the nephew gets better quicly. Link to comment
wljimbo Posted September 30, 2009 Author Share Posted September 30, 2009 Damn, dude...hope the nephew gets better quicly. Thanks-bud! It’s been hell the last few days! My sister had to have an emergency c-section and the baby was transported to a NIC unit at all children’s hospital. She just got release from the hospital she was stuck at, so I was the only one who could stay w/ the new baby! He’s stable now, but not out of woods yet. I never seen anything like it 70 babies in this unit and you couldn’t even hear 1 crying because there’ll on ventilators. Seeing babies w/ needles and tubs in their heads really makes you think!

1337TANKHAX Posted September 30, 2009 Share Posted September 30, 2009 Don't worry, I'm sure your nephew will grow up to be a big healthy boy. Link to comment
wljimbo Posted October 2, 2009 Author Share Posted October 2, 2009 Thanks – Tank the little guy is doing a lot better but well when it rains it pours! My parent’s were diving home from seeing the baby in the hospital and were hit by guy that ran a red light! There’re alive and home now but really messed up! I don’t know how much more of this I can take! Link to comment
wljimbo Posted October 6, 2009 Author Share Posted October 6, 2009 I'm sorry the best I can do is a night shot. Haven't been able to do much. All I've added is flame algae, and a green ric. I'm waiting on another piece of live rock and some frags from lucid. I also finally got to order the light i've been waiting for. One of Evil's PAR38 LED lamps . FTS 10/5/09 Link to comment
jaygalindo Posted October 6, 2009 Share Posted October 6, 2009 jimbo what powers the par38 lamp? Link to comment
wljimbo Posted October 6, 2009 Author Share Posted October 6, 2009 jimbo what powers the par38 lamp? Pics & info are in Evil's LED Pico Light thread. He said these lamps will screw into any fixture that takes a normal incandescent bulb. Link to comment
got2envy Posted October 6, 2009 Share Posted October 6, 2009 Wow! you have had a busy month, hope the nephew, sister and parents are all well Tanks looks great so far! edit- Please post a link to the FTS in your first post Link to comment
wljimbo Posted October 9, 2009 Author Share Posted October 9, 2009 I just got my light from Evil! Check this thing out it's crazy!!!!! I can't wait to get it installed! Link to comment
MGDMIRAGE Posted October 9, 2009 Share Posted October 9, 2009 Those are definitely beautiful lights Link to comment
wljimbo Posted October 12, 2009 Author Share Posted October 12, 2009 Those are definitely beautiful lights Thanks MGD, ya Evil does some amazing work! I’m loving this light! The color is perfect & I’m still getting that "shine" you normally see w/ a MH… I definitely got to play w/ the height and angle a little more and I’m having a hard time figuring out what setting to use on my camera. (The middle of the pics always look a little washed out where the light is strongest.) but all in all I'm very happy and the fixture only cost me $30.00 at Target! I’m hoping to get my order from Lucid and add some frags this week, so more to come shortly! Link to comment
phorensic Posted October 12, 2009 Share Posted October 12, 2009 You got your PAR38! Cool! I'm noticing that it looks like it needs to be mounted pretty high due to the narrow-ish optics. That kind of sucks because I had the most perfect mounting system planned for mine. But it looks pretty good! More picherz! Link to comment
evilc66 Posted October 12, 2009 Share Posted October 12, 2009 Looks good Jimbo. Glad yo like the like. Keep an eye on the temps on that heatsink. If it gets to the point where the heatsink is uncofortable to touch, it might be time to look at a different fixture. I know the pictures aren't always telling, but it looks like you might need a little more height to get better coverage. phorensic, we are looking to start offering wider lens options in the near future that will allow you to place the lamp closer to the tank.

Thanks again Evil! I agree, I'm gonna rise it up a few more inches when I get home. It's has vents in the side and back, but I'll keep checking the heatsink. I also have an extra small clip-on fan that I can point at the light if it becomes a problem! I can’t wait to see what kind of growth rate I get w/ your light! phorensic - I'll post a few more pics tonight after I adjust the light a little! Link to comment
schwaz Posted October 14, 2009 Share Posted October 14, 2009 Ikea makes a similar desk lamp where the whole reflective "hood" is removable. Thanks MGD, ya Evil does some amazing work!
