jedimasterben Posted June 20, 2015 Share Posted June 20, 2015 Won't be that bad, if its too tall then just bend it back away from the tank and then back over it again. Quote Link to comment
Wander Posted June 20, 2015 Share Posted June 20, 2015 20" cube with NanoBox Duo. Thanks Dave for the great service and a great product. Using the hanging kit, some smaller hardware, and a conduit wall mount I was able to nicely hang the Duo on the existing DIY pendant mount. Light schedule up and running. Loving the extra options the 4 channel and Bluefish Mini provide. Not sure how to mount the extra boxes yet, but will resolving that shortly. Mini connected nicely. Having a photo mode setting is a photo editing must. Great Service from Dave, and so far everything seems to be responding well to the increase over the old PAR38 bulb. Quote Link to comment
Steensj2004 Posted June 21, 2015 Share Posted June 21, 2015 Anyone else experiencing icing little bumps appearing on their paint? My Hybrind is growing little raised bumps under the paint, they are hard, but won't come off? Paint contamination of some sort? I see more and more every wee. Light is hanging about 14" above the tank, I doubt it's from salt.... Quote Link to comment
Fyrwulf Posted June 21, 2015 Share Posted June 21, 2015 Anyone else experiencing icing little bumps appearing on their paint? My Hybrind is growing little raided bumps under the paint, they are hard, but won't come off? Paint contamination of some sort? I see more and more every wee. Light is hanging about 14" above the tank, I doubt it's from salt.... Outgassing from incompletely cured primer or sealer? EDIT: Just to be clear, those things happen. Automotive paint is really finicky and even small changes in temp or humidity when a coat is laid down can effect the outcome. Quote Link to comment

Fyrwulf Posted June 21, 2015 Share Posted June 21, 2015 They look sorta like blisters, yes? Is it just on that one side? Quote Link to comment
Steensj2004 Posted June 21, 2015 Share Posted June 21, 2015 They look sorta like blisters, yes? Is it just on that one side? They are everywhere on the fixture, some are small, others are larger. All are solid and you cannot pop or flatten them. I haven't tried using any tools as I don't want to mess anything up further. They aren't taking over the entire fixture but are there, and more and more show up by the week......blah. Disappointed seeing as I've only had it maybe 2-3 months. Quote Link to comment

Don't try to pop or flatten them, if you succeed you'll compromise the metal and that's a really bad thing with salt water around. Quote Link to comment

Definitely don't think it was caused by saltwater, as I just measured and the fixture is sitting exactly 13 inches above the water line( very shallow @ only 12" deep.....sigh. Guess I'm stuck with it, I'm disappointed. 1 Quote Link to comment

Guess I'm stuck with it, I'm disappointed. Contact Dave, I'm sure he'll take care of it. It could've been the higher heat and humidity of a tropical saltwater environment causing the outgassing, it doesn't require physical contact with corrosive substances. I've also never seen this in one of the other threads, so it could be there was a temperature or humidity swing that caused one of the coats to react differently during the process of painting. Like I said, these things happen, all that can be done is to strip it and repaint. Quote Link to comment
