metrokat Posted January 18, 2015 Author Share Posted January 18, 2015 Oh it's WAY too early to be up after a late night. My head hurts. Could be the vodka. Hypostatic brought me some Jasmine tea, I'm sipping it, hoping the antioxidants will calm down the drums in my head. Tank is on sunrise, so pretty. It's very dreary outside with Ice warnings. 5 Quote Link to comment
Pinner Reef Posted January 18, 2015 Share Posted January 18, 2015 Ugh, Right there with ya Kat. Stupid Sunday morning work always gets me. Specially cause I usually crash at the hotel and there is a bar right across the street. The tank is looking good tho seems like everything is settling finally. My suggestion is to curl up w/Bogi and hide from the weather. 1 Quote Link to comment

Vodka dosing is for the tank silly! I'm glad you had a fun celebration - now stay in and spend the day snuggling Bogi and tank-watching. 2 Quote Link to comment

Bogi is on his kitty cup on my desk.It is icy today but I have to take my nephew to a basketball game in a couple of hours. He's very cute and cudly looking though, might have to drape myself on my desk (and him) and take a snooze. Quote Link to comment
Alex B Posted January 18, 2015 Share Posted January 18, 2015 No light yet?? Dying to see that ish 2 Quote Link to comment
metrokat Posted January 18, 2015 Author Share Posted January 18, 2015 No light yet?? Dying to see that ish Me too. Dave was getting ready to send it out, fired it up one final time and the ballasts wouldn't work. FML. I mean a light that was used as a surfboard by the guy that sold it to me, what else can we expect. So Dave is now changing the balasts out. He was going to ship today, I'm just keeping my fingers crossed. 1 Quote Link to comment

Hopefully I can do it between today and tom. I've been trying to decide if I want to paint it. All white with black fan covers. Hopefully your light ships out today! 1 Quote Link to comment
DaveFason Posted January 18, 2015 Share Posted January 18, 2015 Finished editing the photos. New ballast installed. Four channel dimming. This light will hit every angle, edge and surface on this tank!

Arce Posted January 18, 2015 Share Posted January 18, 2015 That lights intense 2 Quote Link to comment
Alex B Posted January 18, 2015 Share Posted January 18, 2015 Wow. That looks awesome! That's a whole LOT of light..lol I have a 8x39 Ati with 4 pcb's in it and my tank is 36x24x18 That is going to be a beast with 6 pcb's and 4 t5s. I think when I install my new v3 arrays from Dave, I'm going to split them up. the coverage should be much better with them like that. 2 Quote Link to comment

metrokat Posted January 19, 2015 Author Share Posted January 19, 2015 There's a new fat mandarin in town. I swore off mandarins but couldn't resist this little wee fish. I need a name but also need to sex the fish. Juvi males don't have a pointed dorsal fin so I'm not sure whether I have a M or F here. 11 Quote Link to comment
Jstn Posted January 19, 2015 Share Posted January 19, 2015 Chunky little mandarin you got there, a good starting point. Quote Link to comment
Rehype Posted January 19, 2015 Share Posted January 19, 2015 Beautiful fixture kat..Dave did an amazing job....But i expect nothing less. I think the mandarin is a female...reminds me of the one i used to have. 1 Quote Link to comment
