HarryPotter Posted December 27, 2015 Share Posted December 27, 2015 You and me both Should be coming in next week- hopefully early part of the week Sweet! I've been comparing the NanoBox Hybrid with an ATI Hybrid Powermodule- tough call! Link to comment
Sk8n Reefer Posted December 27, 2015 Author Share Posted December 27, 2015 Sweet! I've been comparing the NanoBox Hybrid with an ATI Hybrid Powermodule- tough call! Better and more LED's with the Nanobox Link to comment
spectra Posted December 27, 2015 Share Posted December 27, 2015 Sweet! I've been comparing the NanoBox Hybrid with an ATI Hybrid Powermodule- tough call! Well Dave does not mod the older power modules anymore so you have to go with the sun powers.....those are ugly so if you want the sleek look of the power module you have to go ATI.........

I meant the powermodule or NanoBox Hybrid. Link to comment
spectra Posted December 27, 2015 Share Posted December 27, 2015 I meant the powermodule or NanoBox Hybrid. Ah ok I asked Dave about doing a Hybrid before I got the ATI. It would have been a modified sunpower so I went Powermodule Link to comment
4x5 Posted December 27, 2015 Share Posted December 27, 2015 Better and more LED's with the Nanobox Yah but no 8 bulb option for those who want T5 dominant unfortunately. Link to comment
spectra Posted December 27, 2015 Share Posted December 27, 2015 Yah but no 8 bulb option for those who want T5 dominant unfortunately. There is with the ATI Link to comment
4x5 Posted December 27, 2015 Share Posted December 27, 2015 There is with the ATI Yep, I know - I meant with the NB units. I have a 8x24w ATI non LED - it's good enough for me. Link to comment
Sk8n Reefer Posted December 27, 2015 Author Share Posted December 27, 2015 Yah but no 8 bulb option for those who want T5 dominant unfortunately. True, I am planning on running my T5's mid day for 5-7hrs. Haven't locked in the details yet. I do like the look the bulbs give though- softens things out when they are running. Having the 4 clusters of LED gives good even coverage throughout the tank and I am only at 45% right now. I should have my new light next week and then I need to use my lfs par meter to dial in the light ? Link to comment
spectra Posted December 27, 2015 Share Posted December 27, 2015 I have a powermodul waiting for the new tank......... Link to comment

Sk8n Reefer Posted December 27, 2015 Author Share Posted December 27, 2015 Fun day yesterday- added a clean up crew to the 50gal. A mixture of Trochus and Astrea snails and 6 scarlet hermits to start. Also picked up an acro enchinata and a Montipora spongode. Put the enchinata in the Nuvo And the spongode in the 50gal. Some random Nuvo shots Encrusting Monti Digitata pieces making a come back Purple rimmed cap up close Link to comment
Chris! Posted December 27, 2015 Share Posted December 27, 2015 Sweet new pick up! Dont be surprised if that echinata browns out for a while, every one Ive ever had has been real touchy with moves but are well worth it IMO Link to comment

Dont be surprised if that echinata browns out for a while, every one Ive ever had has been real touchy with moves but are well worth it IMO Thanks man! Ya, I beat it up pretty bad during the dip- a full 15min. in revive and then a good brushing with toothbrush- it was pissed! Link to comment

You kids and your revive lol Bayer is so much more coral friendly man You get that new fancy light yet? Link to comment
Sk8n Reefer Posted December 27, 2015 Author Share Posted December 27, 2015 You kids and your revive lol Bayer is so much more coral friendly man You get that new fancy light yet? Hahaha! Freebie from a show so I'll use it- it's kept everyone pretty safe so far. I haven't ventured into the Bayer yet but I have looked at the bottle at home depot? that's a start. New light should be here next week- hopefully early next week Link to comment
Chris! Posted December 27, 2015 Share Posted December 27, 2015 You really can't go wrong with the bayer IMO, I started using it a few yrs ago after losing 6 out of 10 deepwaters to revive (and werent my first batch of losses that I had no other reasonable reason for losing), haven't lost a coral from dip stress since Revive is fairly effective for a bit of stuff, just very risky IME especially with sensitive sps. Everything looks great tho man, I just know you've talked about getting into some more sensitive types so I'd hate to see ya needlessly risk them. Hopefully the new light arrives soon man, really look forward to you being able to get the 50 rockin soon! Link to comment

When I made it for just a couple frags I'd do 10ml to 4 oz of water. Worked like a charm, never any issues. Now I fill a 5g bucket with a gallon or two and pour in bayer until its looking like skim milk Link to comment
