Formula462 Posted January 18, 2013 Author Share Posted January 18, 2013 That's pretty awesome.. Is that from a place you went or what? No it's a Thrive "Prescription" form. It's actually a pretty cool tool. It can be kinda silly though. 10 dkh "DANGEROUSLY HIGH!!!!" 1400 Magnesium "DANGEROUSLY HIGH!!!" lol Figured I would throw a couple pics up. These are an hour old. I know about the bubble algae, I left it for the blenny, he does not care lol. Link to comment

Formula462 Posted January 18, 2013 Author Share Posted January 18, 2013 I got a little cyano trying to pop up in one spot and just a small bit of bubble algae. Other than that, everything looks how I like it. I AM due for a water change however, and when I do I will rid the cyano. The lumen strip ghettoishly mounted also helps with actinic "pop" lol.

It's some sister company of Panasonic apparently. It's a HID Electronic Ballast. I forget the name, I'll look when I close the store and go home later. It's whatever FNI.com was using back in 2010.

Dnanoreefer Posted January 19, 2013 Share Posted January 19, 2013 Have you seen the aqua medic ballasts? They look pretty nice for 100.00 I'm wondering if they would make any difference in bulb life and color.. They claim to I guess. Link to comment
Formula462 Posted January 19, 2013 Author Share Posted January 19, 2013 I've seen one, but not on a tank or running a light. Link to comment
Dnanoreefer Posted January 19, 2013 Share Posted January 19, 2013 Do you think it would be worth picking one up? The cooling fan sure would be nice. Mh ballasts get pretty warm as u know.. Link to comment
Formula462 Posted January 21, 2013 Author Share Posted January 21, 2013 I have mine mounted on the wall with some heat reducing pad under it. I keep the water and dust off of it, and have no issues. Link to comment

Only ones I had on the shell were purple death paly. I moved those to my big frag tank. The pink zoas I could never find a pet name for. I just sold them actually. Link to comment
