aquakevem Posted February 16, 2015 Author Share Posted February 16, 2015 When I was emailing couple months ago they told me they might not brining it in any more I think it's a marking thing but I don't want to be mad if they really do run out I think i'll place a second order for a few 30's and 20's, never know.. Yo Kev! Glad to see you back in the game brother. I sold my 120 2.5 years ago and it's killing me. Doing some research on my next build... Will be following along. Hey bro! Exciting news to hear you're back at it. What are you thinking of doing for your next tank? Link to comment

aquakevem Posted February 18, 2015 Author Share Posted February 18, 2015 Where did you get the light over the sump? SandBed, I bought the Vertex Aquaristik ILLUMILUX from Aquarium Specialty in 2011, but it appears that they are no longer selling this light fixture. Link to comment
aquakevem Posted February 25, 2015 Author Share Posted February 25, 2015 Acquired the 105mm micro through B&H Link to comment
Dramad1 Posted February 25, 2015 Share Posted February 25, 2015 SandBed, I bought the Vertex Aquaristik ILLUMILUX from Aquarium Specialty in 2011, but it appears that they are no longer selling this light fixture. I thought I saw they came out with a newer version at inner zoo last year, maybe even a t5 hybrid, maybe I'm trippin.How's the build coming? Link to comment
aquakevem Posted February 25, 2015 Author Share Posted February 25, 2015 I thought I saw they came out with a newer version at inner zoo last year, maybe even a t5 hybrid, maybe I'm trippin. How's the build coming? Ha! They can have the revamped fixture, if true.. I just want the inline 1-10v module that was promised for dimming purposes. My build has been coming along slowly as of late. I guess i can blame that on my interests in photography and myself waiting for GHL to catch up on software updates(ATO function) after their transition to a new facility. I always wondered who may have assembled my Doser 2(?) Image by GHL-Facebook Image by GHL-Facebook ...In the meantime. I am currently building an All-In-One quarantine tank that's a 40g breeder.

Dramad1 Posted February 25, 2015 Share Posted February 25, 2015 Sweet! I know not much of photography but that new lens looks fancy Link to comment
aquakevem Posted February 25, 2015 Author Share Posted February 25, 2015 Sweet! I know not much of photography but that new lens looks fancy She's a beauty I see you continue to acquire more equipment for your build. You seem to be just as bad as me.. Lol. Link to comment
k4ndyk1ng Posted February 25, 2015 Share Posted February 25, 2015 I'm too excited, this build is like watching coral grow lol I'm thinking about getting into photography but I just need to save up lol. What camera do you have? (This has probably been asked 10 times but I never payed attention) Link to comment
farkwar Posted February 25, 2015 Share Posted February 25, 2015 I was thinking, that that lens doesn't really need VR. Then I think, that's a great all around lens, not just a macro. Great portrait lens, for example. Ahhh, needs VR. -------------------------------------------- I had also noticed tonight that GHL dosers are on clearance. Now I know why. Looks nice. Good placement to compete with the Kore 5th, same color too. Link to comment

What camera do you have? (This has probably been asked 10 times but I never payed attention) Ha! You'll need a bit of patience to be successful with photography too. I currently own the D800 by Nikon. I was thinking, that that lens doesn't really need VR. Then I think, that's a great all around lens, not just a macro. Great portrait lens, for example. Ahhh, needs VR. -------------------------------------------- I had also noticed tonight that GHL dosers are on clearance. Now I know why. Looks nice. Good placement to compete with the Kore 5th, same color too. You're absolutely right, given the focal length of 105mm on my FX body. I also have the advantage of using this lens for portraits and maybe even distant landscapes. -- You'll see the previous generation of GHL slave/standalone dosers going on clearance. The slave Doser 2 is expected sometime around mid year. I almost bought into the Kore doser -almost. Link to comment
aquakevem Posted February 27, 2015 Author Share Posted February 27, 2015 myGHL *Open Beta* - Cloud based service for controlling Doser 2(Profilux and Mitras, coming soon)Here's where you can Manual dose and view remaining contents of fluids. Link to comment
k4ndyk1ng Posted February 27, 2015 Share Posted February 27, 2015 Daym that's a nice doser. And here I am looking at the jebao ones Link to comment
aquakevem Posted February 28, 2015 Author Share Posted February 28, 2015 Daym that's a nice doser. And here I am looking at the jebao ones Ha! Not to steer you away from getting a Jebao doser, but.. About a handful of more features will be available too! You're gonna need a doser or something to keep your levels in check with a stocked tank Link to comment

I am still fairly active, peeping threads. Though i will not budge until GHL releases upcoming features/add-ons for the Doser 2(ATO being one of them) PH-Control, via expansion card for PH measurement is a upcoming feature too Link to comment
aquakevem Posted May 6, 2015 Author Share Posted May 6, 2015 Acquired my first and hopefully last tripod, which is a Gitzo Systematic series 2 long GT2542LSThis should come in handy for FTS and videos Link to comment
k4ndyk1ng Posted May 6, 2015 Share Posted May 6, 2015 I'm very excited for when you finally get this up why don't you start the cycle? And when the tank is up I'm expecting top notch out of this world photography Link to comment
aquakevem Posted May 17, 2015 Author Share Posted May 17, 2015 Up late installing components to my GHL ProfiLux Aquarium Computer(coming weeks). ExpansionSocket Powerbar Which is pretty much a 1 to 2 extension cord splitter, but it draws current from a wall outlet instead of my main Powerbar. These two(2) sockets are for my Eheim heaters. VorTech Controller Controller for my MP40wES that needs to be upgraded to Quiet Drive. ProfiLuxTunze1(Not Shown) To control the current from a Tunze 1073.050 electronic water pump, which will take the place of my Sicce Syncra 2.0 this coming week. LeakInterface Brain of the dectectors/leak sensors placed inside and out of my aquarium stand. Link to comment
aquakevem Posted May 23, 2015 Author Share Posted May 23, 2015 Return pump upgraded Undoubtedly the same size as a Sicce Synrca 2.0, but the included suction feet makes it a bit taller. Link to comment
