markalot Posted November 10, 2016 Share Posted November 10, 2016 So my 3 year old just told me that the new tank wasn't big enough..... Smart kid. Link to comment
Veng Posted November 11, 2016 Author Share Posted November 11, 2016 Well, regardless of the kid's thoughts to the size, progress is being made on a solution to get this light over the 20L until I can finish this other tank build. Link to comment

metrokat Posted November 11, 2016 Share Posted November 11, 2016 So my 3 year old just told me that the new tank wasn't big enough..... She did not! Smart kid. ^^ this. Sending the PAR meter Monday. Use it well Link to comment
Veng Posted November 11, 2016 Author Share Posted November 11, 2016 She did not! Her eyes get so big when we talk about a bigger tank and she holds her arms out as wide as they can go and say "big big BIG tank!" Link to comment
tailes Posted November 11, 2016 Share Posted November 11, 2016 Her eyes get so big when we talk about a bigger tank and she holds her arms out as wide as they can go and say "big big BIG tank!" Not like I coached her or anything. I promise. LMAO I totally coached her. Link to comment
teenyreef Posted November 12, 2016 Share Posted November 12, 2016 I really like that kid Link to comment
tailes Posted November 12, 2016 Share Posted November 12, 2016 I really like that kid Yeah she's pretty awesome. I need to take a video of her talking about the tank LOL Link to comment
Veng Posted November 13, 2016 Author Share Posted November 13, 2016 More progress on the stand... Link to comment
beebes Posted November 13, 2016 Share Posted November 13, 2016 More progress on the stand... Any stand that isn't built with a bunch of 2x4s just looks so much fancier to me. Link to comment
Veng Posted November 13, 2016 Author Share Posted November 13, 2016 Hehe, yeah was hoping for some semblance of elegance on this stand. We will see. Link to comment
metrokat Posted November 14, 2016 Share Posted November 14, 2016 Are you going to stain it to match the balustrade? Link to comment
Veng Posted November 14, 2016 Author Share Posted November 14, 2016 Are you going to stain it to match the balustrade? I don't think so. I'm not a huge fan of the color of the balustrade and I don't think I could get it to match, so I'm going to try to complement it rather than compete with it. Link to comment
metrokat Posted November 14, 2016 Share Posted November 14, 2016 I don't think so. I'm not a huge fan of the color of the balustrade and I don't think I could get it to match, so I'm going to try to complement it rather than compete with it. I LOVE THAT BALUSTRADE! Link to comment
beebes Posted November 14, 2016 Share Posted November 14, 2016 I really hope I'm not the only one that didn't know what a balustrade was. Link to comment
Veng Posted November 14, 2016 Author Share Posted November 14, 2016 I LOVE THAT BALUSTRADE! IIRC that color looks good on small surfaces, but has a real purple tint that is more apparent on larger surfaces. Link to comment
tailes Posted November 17, 2016 Share Posted November 17, 2016 IIRC that color looks good on small surfaces, but has a real purple tint that is more apparent on larger surfaces. Yeah it's more purple than red. I vote dark gray. Like, not even going wood so it's much easier to wipe off the salt. Link to comment
Veng Posted November 21, 2016 Author Share Posted November 21, 2016 New light is up over the 20L. Turned all the way up it it puts out about 3 times as much light. Here's a SOC (straight out of camera) comparison between the old light and the new light at full power on everything but the white, they are around 50%. Old: New: As for long term and not quick photos, the LEDs are turned down to around 15% their power. I'm starting with about a 5-10% boost in PAR and will slowly turn them up and see how stuff responds. Link to comment
Veng Posted November 21, 2016 Author Share Posted November 21, 2016 Saving a bunch with BRS's sale is going to cost me a lot of money.... Link to comment
beebes Posted November 21, 2016 Share Posted November 21, 2016 Saving a bunch with BRS's sale is going to cost me a lot of money.... Don't worry, you're not alone. I've got my trigger finger on the buy button, just hoping for some sort of bulk rock discount on Pukani - similar to the 40lb boxes for $90 they did last year or the year before. And suddenly so many other little things I decided I could live without seem like must buys... Link to comment
Veng Posted November 22, 2016 Author Share Posted November 22, 2016 BRS shipped my order in 3 packages.... Perhaps I ordered too much stuff... Link to comment
