Giga Posted May 17, 2014 Author Share Posted May 17, 2014 I may have missed it but did you decide against the water feature? I was on the fence for a long time about it and I didn't want more maintenance, with running to many hobbies, it just made more sense not to. Holy shiot! Indeed lol Link to comment

hypostatic Posted May 18, 2014 Share Posted May 18, 2014 I was on the fence for a long time about it and I didn't want more maintenance, with running to many hobbies, it just made more sense not to Ahhh wise choice. A big reason why people leave reefing for frogs is because it's SO much less maintenance lol Link to comment

Giga Posted May 27, 2014 Author Share Posted May 27, 2014 so now that i've mastered iso cultures i'm gonna move onto springtails and fruit flieshttp://s139.photobucket.com/user/Veritas21885/media/DSC01737_zps8a99f2b5.jpg.html'> Link to comment
hypostatic Posted May 27, 2014 Share Posted May 27, 2014 Springtails are pretty easy; just make sure you don't overfeed and cause a CO2 spike, which will kill them. If the culture is vented it'll prevent this. The trickiest thing with FFs is keeping them mite-free. As long as you wash your hands before touching the cultures and keep them on mite paper you should be fine. Oh keep the STs on mite paper too -- they're also prone to mite infestation.

Giga Posted May 27, 2014 Author Share Posted May 27, 2014 You've kept frogs before right? Yeah I kept veradero, but I only kept enough food for them and bought new fly cultures, I never kept my own culture of everything Link to comment

Giga Posted June 6, 2014 Author Share Posted June 6, 2014 So I've hooked up my led light but seem to be having a problem-when I hook up the cla 36a to my 5 up ldd board and hook up all my regular luzeon es leds it works fine. But when I hook up ther vero 18's each on their own ldd they get to about 25% brightness then just dim down to almost nothing even though the sotrm X is on 4095(max brightness). The cla meanwell is outputting 42V so I know it more then enought to handle the Vero's-as at max there 29.9v or something-any idea? Link to comment
