yoshii Posted June 2, 2011 Share Posted June 2, 2011 Tank looks nice! I really like the branchy-ish rocks in the back I say more rics! Link to comment
swayd Posted June 2, 2011 Author Share Posted June 2, 2011 Thank you. Yeah that rock was a gift from my brother, its awesome! I was thinking about that, I have a rainbow ric(florida) on hold with a buddy and I have my rainbow yuma that is making babies and that pink yuma with 4 babies on it as well. I am still trying to trade that plate for some acans but I havent been able to make the trip to concord yet lol OMG I just found a 60g cube online for $100 bucks I WANT Link to comment
swayd Posted June 3, 2011 Author Share Posted June 3, 2011 Just incase I do get it I drew this up at work real quick hehe Link to comment
swayd Posted June 6, 2011 Author Share Posted June 6, 2011 My ballast just BLEW OUT!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Now what should I do? -3-4 dimmable par 38 bulbs? -3 boost LED bulbs? -replacement ballast? -250watt MH system? Link to comment
yoshii Posted June 6, 2011 Share Posted June 6, 2011 Why not just replace the ballast? Unless you want to change your lighting system/try something new Link to comment
swayd Posted June 6, 2011 Author Share Posted June 6, 2011 Because I am getting really good results with the dimmable par 38 bulb in my pico and I am seriously planning a 60-80 gallon cube build pretty soon. I figure that if I get 3-4 of the dimmable par 38 bulbs I can support the cube with just a couple more down the road or get a 250w MH? I am really starting to like LEDs though lol. Link to comment

I thought those LEDwholesalers PAR38s were buggy and unreliable? I was thinking about getting one a while back but then I saw all the bad reviews Do you have any idea of the dimensions of the cube?

swayd Posted June 6, 2011 Author Share Posted June 6, 2011 Yeah mine flickers and stuff but they work lol. I am getting good growth on sps from it! The demensions for the cube would be 24"x24"x24" Link to comment
Coastie Posted June 7, 2011 Share Posted June 7, 2011 could always buy a cheap 250w ballast from Aquatraders. Then you'll have a working light you can sell later should you decide to. I believe you even once said they are local to you. Link to comment
swayd Posted June 7, 2011 Author Share Posted June 7, 2011 If I did get the ballast would I be able to just hook it up and run a 250 bulb or would I have to mod the pendant? I was at an Lfs and they have a dimmable 150 that with the turn of the switch it can push 175 or 250 watts for $150 I would just need to mod the plug. Yeah aquatraders is only about a 45 min drive from home. Link to comment
swayd Posted June 10, 2011 Author Share Posted June 10, 2011 Finally got my new galaxy select a watt ballast! Now in back up and running strong Link to comment
swayd Posted July 11, 2011 Author Share Posted July 11, 2011 I HATE heat waves and power outages! Link to comment
swayd Posted August 2, 2011 Author Share Posted August 2, 2011 Good growth but acans aren't doing so hot. Sps, candycane and softies are doing great. Pics coming soon. Link to comment
yoshii Posted August 2, 2011 Share Posted August 2, 2011 Hey, you're alive! Try moving the acans to shade? And feed them? Looking forward to see how things have grown Link to comment
swayd Posted August 2, 2011 Author Share Posted August 2, 2011 Haha yeah I'm still kickin lol, yeah that sounds like a good idea. I think it's due to the heat over here. Link to comment
yoshii Posted August 2, 2011 Share Posted August 2, 2011 Hmm I think so, my acans always seem to do the worst in heat waves But for most of this summer my tanks have been staying around 79* Link to comment
swayd Posted August 2, 2011 Author Share Posted August 2, 2011 Yeah I keep a large fan on my tank all day long but my temp still rises. Hay, I go to aquatic collection, aquarium concepts, and neptunes. Link to comment
