Hoosier_Daddy Posted January 6, 2013 Share Posted January 6, 2013 What led fixture is this? Link to comment
hawks66 Posted January 6, 2013 Share Posted January 6, 2013 is it? http://reefbreeders.com/controllable_led_fixtures.html how do you like it? they are high on my consideration list. Link to comment
Parker0824 Posted January 6, 2013 Share Posted January 6, 2013 It is a reefbreeders and I've seen this set up in person. They are very very nice. Idk if he likes the reds to much but I know he got it for less than $400 brand new and it crushes a lot of other LED fixtures today. I'm +1 reefbreeders. Although I'm running orphek on my next build. Keep up the GW Garrett Link to comment
GarrettsReefing Posted January 29, 2013 Author Share Posted January 29, 2013 So far I actually really enjoy my light having ran it now for a few weeks I get great colors with almost everything and my light cycle is much longer giving more time to enjoyI set up a rdsb ran off my return redrainin back into sumpGoing to be using it also as a nps zone as well as for no3 and po4 removalI also got a fu man chu lion fish, they can be found in Japan so I named him Goku!Already got him eating frozen foodAnd finally a fts I haven't updated in awhile I also finished transferring all my gear from old tank over as well so no more maxi jet lol, I also built an extension for my skimmer so it works more efficient reef octopus skimmers run best at 6-8" we'll the water coming out of skimmer is like 10.5" creating splashing everywhere do I DIY a drain for that Link to comment
GarrettsReefing Posted February 5, 2013 Author Share Posted February 5, 2013 Got a little clam crazy, and traded another local kole tang for tomini, tomini are hands down one of my favorite tangs and maxing out at 5-6" can't beat it Link to comment
GarrettsReefing Posted February 24, 2013 Author Share Posted February 24, 2013 Lets see here was a really good tax season, that being said I got some sweet upgrades for the tank coming in. Got a bRS doser for maintaining alK already All set up just waiting on my bubble blaster hy1000 to upgrade my nwb150 skimmer to a sro-1000 a 400$ skimmer for a 40b. Also got a super heap reef keeper lite as the wall timer running bRS doser resets after running a cycle causing it to need to be reprogrammed Link to comment
