I am going to start sharing more customer photos as most people are not on the forums. I have completed a few crazy retro builds lately and things are only picking up. We need more pictures of yours. 2 Quote Link to comment

The new Bluefish APP is looking great and you guys will enjoy it much more. Website has been updated and I will try and finish the ATI section. New RETRO options are available. For now here are a few photos. RETRO Prep : A ton of sawing, drilling and tapping. Red/Black Tide : Clear/White Flare : Clear/Black Tide : Blue/Black Tide : Black/Blue Tide : The Office : Couldn't help but notice the peppermint angle fish in your poster, you must be working hard to buy one lol. 2 Quote Link to comment
DaveFason Posted March 20, 2017 Author Share Posted March 20, 2017 Hope all is well with everyone! Things have been great this way and I continue to be blown away with the amount of RETRO orders coming in. I want to thank @markalot, @metrokat, @braaap, @stellablue, @spectra and many others for spreading the word. The amount of interest in the NanoBox ATI units has been nutty! I have been rearranging the office tanks and they are looking better each day. I had a weird algae outbreak in the UNS planted however it all died two days later. Weird! Orders are going out quickly besides a few hangups with normal Quads. However these should all be heading out this week. Gold/Red Tide : Black Duo : Purple/Vivid Purple Screw Grey Sleeve Tide : Black/Vivid Duo : NanoBox ATI Hybrid : Just todays shipment. At times I feel like I am on the set of "Groundhog Day ". Build, pack, ship. Repeat. Night time at NanoBox : Newly scaped blackwater Planted : You can see the dead algae. I am still getting it all clear out. IM10 : As you can see, I really enjoy the hobby as well. These tanks are my test subjects so at times they can look a bit funny. However it is the best R&D! Enjoy! -Dave 13 Quote Link to comment
braaap Posted March 20, 2017 Share Posted March 20, 2017 Looking good. I'm really liking my retro I installed. Wasn't too hard to do. Was pretty fun actually. I am now seeing colors in my coral that I have never seen before. If the bluefish app would get a nice update all would be well. Overall I'm a happy NB customer. 4 Quote Link to comment

DaveFason Posted March 24, 2017 Author Share Posted March 24, 2017 I was able to ship a ton of orders this week along with a ton of prep. I am finishing a few monster NanoBox ATI retros for next week. These are absolutely insane! I have been working on a acrylic leg system that resembles the acrylic legs that you see on planted tanks. This is the first prototype and I will be tweaking a few items. Notch for wire, no screws and multiple sizes. With the popularity of peninsula tanks the acrylic legs will work perfectly to keep the original look. As normal here are a few photos of units. Enjoy! -Dave 4 Quote Link to comment

I take a ATI Sunpower and retro NanoBox LEDs, control and all the other goodness. Making it a hybrid. I apologize if you did not hear from me this weekend. I have been finishing the construction of a kitchen remodel. Things have been VERY busy. -Dave Quote Link to comment
