TeamIM24 Posted June 15, 2014 Share Posted June 15, 2014 Haven't heard anything from you in while and hope you are doing well. Update? New FTS? Link to comment
gsgentry Posted June 18, 2014 Author Share Posted June 18, 2014 Well we had a incident recently. My custom light decided to take a swim in the tank and fried it all. Luckily I had my old light to get me by for now. I sent the light back off to Dave for a quote and he is working on replacing all the LED's, fans and changing the mounting for me now. I also ordered some 80/20 which is what I will be using to mount the light when I get it back in the next week or two. The good news is that the new clusters will have the lime LED's. And I will still have the additional violets and moonlights as before. The birdsnest I had was pretty much the only coral affected by the accident. All my other corals are doing great. Acans have new heads all over them as does the BowerBanki. And the Dragon Soul Favia that I have been healing for my brother looks amazing now!! I will post new pictures when I get my light back. I will also post what the fried light looked light. Link to comment
rdck99 Posted June 18, 2014 Share Posted June 18, 2014 Wow, that sucks. Considering you're getting an 80/20 mount to replace, I take it leg mounts gave out somehow? I can imagine a gooseneck mount toppling over, but how did the mounting legs fail? Link to comment

I can imagine a gooseneck mount toppling over, but how did the mounting legs fail? The legs didn't fail per say. They clamp onto the glass, but you can't tighten them like you could if you were clamping on wood or metal, otherwise the glass would break Going with the 80/20 just to be safe. It will be solid and also give me the ability to slide the light back out of the way if needed for maintenance. I have the structure built and the light should be done this weekend according to Dave. Life will be good again. Link to comment
